      The Upside Down is from Netflix's series 'Stranger Things' - It's Earth's fictional, shadowy mirrored alternate reality/universe... The Upside Down is a place so wild, dark and dangerous, a place that is packed full of nasty beasts, creatures and critters that are constantly trying to kill you! It's a place where you've got to be CONSTANTLY on your guard just so you don't stumble into (then get killed by) one of its many deadly inhabitants!
      ............
      Sooooo, when you put it like that I guess it's actually very similar to Australia!
      TBH - It would be much better getting stuck in the Upside Down because you've got a better chance of surviving there! 🤣😅

      Christmas, per the Catholic church, and GOD, has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Christ's birth. He was born in very late September/very early October, and it's in the Bible (but you have to read it with understanding and research, not just accept it blindly from any Protestant "minister"). It's not even possible for Him to have been born so late in the year---and the C.C. even stated, in the late 1500's, that they made it that particular "holiday" in order to be able to get away with celebrating the pagan saturnalia.

He said he was flying his entire family in for Christmas! Normally we don't get white Christmases here in Indiana (it snows plenty, but not until January) but that year the snow started falling at like 6 pm on the 24th! I was so glad that he was able to share that with his family because it was honestly magical!

      That made me grin. Word-for-word memorization is valuable, but so are real understanding and internalization, and the ability to tell a story in a relatable way. (It's why they made all the stained glass windows and paintings that show Mary, Jesus, etc. as white people wearing medieval clothes-- understandable to the immediate audience, even if less exactly what happened.)

      @@e.lycopersicon9720 But southern europe still is in the northern hemisphere meaning you wouldn't expect christmas to be on a particularly hot day compared to the rest of the year. It's winter in southern europe as well as in northern europe. In australia it's the middle of summer

      It is simply because Christianity rose up in Europe in the Medieval age. The thing is, obviously no one knows that Jesus was born on the night to the 25.12, but the people needed something to celebrate in winter (since they were quite harsh back then). That's why christmas is in December when it's cold in Europe. Since the Europeans came to Australia fairly late, they brought their traditions/festivities with them, and celebrated Christmas in December anyway, when it was warm in Australia. Also, I am quite in a shock about just how little the people in the video seem to know about Christmas, even though I am not the most faithful person on earth, but considering they may celebrate Christmas, it shows that it is quite a celebration of commerce nowadays.

    I LOVE the street talk segment and was very impressed by some of their knowledge! I live in California (where I've also never had a white Christmas) and couldn't recall the First Christmas story.

    I loved this. I haven’t been seeing much holiday spirit so far this year. This really put me in good spirits. Thank you! 🎄
