@arisudotexe red and white as winter holiday colors come from the fly agaric, a hallucinogen holy to druids for millennia and traditional to yule celebrations. wreaths and lit trees and scented pinecones and wassail; all yule
@arisudotexe I'm still up in the air about this. At the very least Christmas wasn't celebrated until early medieval times. It might not be pagan though, at least entirely. Just new developments in Christianity. That being said I doubt there was no syncretism. Everywhere Christianity goes there's syncretism and the same should have happened in Europe.
@arisudotexe Pagan.... Pegging....
