Santa is already on the way with his crew!
Nikolaus (Santa) and Christ Child: Who brings the gifts?
December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, the commemoration of Saint Nicholas of Myra, a bishop who lived in Asia Minor in the 4th century. Nicholas was known for his charity and dedication to the poor and needy. After his death, he was canonized, and his feast day was introduced in the Catholic Church.
In the Middle Ages, in some regions of Europe, there was a custom of distributing gifts on the evening of December 24th. However, this custom was not associated with St. Nicholas but with the Christ Child. The Christ Child was considered a heavenly messenger of Christmas and was regarded as the bearer of gifts.
In the 16th century, Protestants began to oppose the veneration of saints by the Catholic Church. This also affected St. Nicholas, who was venerated as a Catholic saint. Luther himself was a staunch opponent of saint worship, considering it a form of idolatry and a violation of the biblical command to turn only to God.
In his Christmas sermon of 1531, Luther criticized the veneration of St. Nicholas and urged Protestants to celebrate the Christ Child instead. He referred to the Christ Child as "an innocent child" and "a true child of God."
Luther's sermon had a significant impact on the Protestant tradition. In the following years, the custom of distributing gifts on the evening of December 24th became increasingly associated with the Christ Child. St. Nicholas was gradually pushed into the background.

"Life is a night at the bar. All the wisdom you gain, you pay for in pain."
Boys turned into men and are still infatuated with each other. Here they are enjoying an elegant evening in a bar.

The Bacchanal: Boys and Fruits Too Sweet to Refrain From
The Bacchanal was a festival in honor of the god Bacchus, who was the god of wine and ecstasy. The festival was celebrated in ancient Rome and was known for its exuberant and wild atmosphere. The people who participated in the Bacchanal festivals were often intoxicated and wore festive costumes. They sang, danced, and celebrated the god Bacchus. The festival was also characterized by sexual openness.
The Bacchanal festivals were very popular in ancient Rome, but they were also controversial. The government tried to control the festivals, but it failed to suppress them. Eventually, the Bacchanal festivals were banned in 186 BC. The reason for the ban was the government's fear that the festivals could lead to unrest and uprisings. The government was also concerned about the sexual openness that prevailed at the Bacchanal festivals.
The Bacchanal festivities were accompanied by vibrant music, dance, and singing, and alcohol and eroticism played a significant role in the celebrations. These festivals were an essential part of Roman culture, representing the joy and exuberance of the people in ancient Rome.
