It's supposed to bring you luck, sorta like telling an actor to "break a leg" (and scare away superstitions). Well, here's how vampires say it!</div>

Hey Delicious Fans ~<br /><br />It's been a while since I've made a personal appearance on this blog. So much has been happening at the new lair, and I've been a little tied up, literally. Yet it's all good because my captor is truly tall, dark and extremely handsome. (Do you get my meaning?)<br />
<br />
Meanwhile? I haven't forgotten about you - my aromatic human. (You still smell delicious. Feel like I could drink you up, literally.)<br />
<br />
Of course, by now you have figured out that this is Ravena (not Tami, the author of Ravena & The Resurrected) who is writing, for a much welcomed change. Gotta love Tami, but she hasn't been keeping up with this blog like she really should. Catch my drift?<br />
<br />
So, my ambrosial human, how have you been? Looks like you gained a little weight since I last posted. Don't get offended by that observation. It just makes you look all the more alluring to me. Mwah-hahaha.<br />
<br />
At any rate ... I plan to post quite a bit more regularly in the next couple of weeks so please stay tuned. There's so much you really do NOT want to miss. Trust me on that. After all? I'm a vampire. (Thank the gods for such small favors.)<br />
<br />
~ Ravena Doomlah<br />

Seems more than a few of my friends on Facebook have been very militaristic in their religious beliefs here lately and they have repeatedly posted "Keep Christ in Christmas or get OUT of America" ... and I thought about how that message would negatively affect American Jews, Muslims, Hindu's, Buddhists, Pagans, Atheists and Agnostics (among many other groups that were born, raised and/or simply live here in the great U.S.A.; made up of people that seem to come from a mixed can of nuts, there's so much variety). At any rate ... I felt I needed to post something that was much more inclusive of all people, including Christians, who celebrate the winter holiday with friends and family who spell the happy wintry season as "holidays" or "Christmas" or "Xmas" or whatever. Point is? PEACE TO ALL. </span><br />

Christmas is supposed to celebrate the birth of Christ, it is not a random holiday. If people don't believe in Jesus Christ that is their right and they can celebrate any way they see fit, however, the birth of my Savior is what made this holiday called CHRISTMAS possible.</span><br />

Certainly we could go on and on about "Yule" and Mistletoe etc. I respect the fact that one possesses Faith. It is important for Christians to know Dionysius Exiguus. He was the monk that came up with the day Jesus was born. I suggest you go back and read the Bible and you will discover the earliest gospel – St. Mark, written only mentioning the baptism of an adult Jesus. No direct biblical author has written anything about a birth date. Having said all that the 25th will work as well as any of the other calender days.</span><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Simon Butler</span> Beth, as Bobby has said, Christmas was not set on an arbitrary date; it was set in late December in order to supplant various other festivals or ritual days of other, pagan religions which occurred during that period.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a quite deliberate policy by the Church – my reference to St Augustine of Canterbury, made in the other thread, was because he used that policy when Christianising the Saxons in England. In effect, he was making sure that people couldn’t have a feast day without it also being a Christian celebration.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nowadays, certainly in Britain, Christmas is a largely secular holiday, which is kept by Christians and non-Christians alike because it’s a long-established tradition in this country. It also preserves many relics of the pagan festivals it displaced; the evergreens, the gift-giving etc. In this largely secular country most people don’t primarily associate it with Christianity. It’s a winter holiday with a whole range of other associations. You could argue that Christians should have a monopoly on Christmas, and other people should have another, separate holiday (as the Scots do with Hogmanay), but that would be extremely inconvenient to implement. History has seen to it that most of our principal holidays are Christian feast days, and it would take major reorganisation to change that.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obviously no one is saying that Christians should be prevented from celebrating Christmas in whatever way they wish – they are just pointing out that saying ‘Keep the Christ in Christmas’ is unnecessarily antagonistic. Christmas is effectively in the public domain, and not solely a Christian religious festival.</span><br />

He was born in the spring time (not during the winter - which is when the Sun God was born - and a jealous dogma changed Jesus Christ's birthday to compete with the Sun God's festivities). I think it's important EVERYBODY learn the historical origins of the holidays they honor ... that way?

It's good to discuss topics that face us, socially, so we can consider ALL angles and not just view the world from our own limited and too narrow perspective. Seeing other people's side of the story is very helpful; I'd think.</span><br />

Faith helps people cope. I know my spiritual practice helps ME sort through things that otherwise would make this seem like too cruel and harsh of an existence at times. When you and I have some sense of "greater purpose" we can more easily push through the difficult times and NOT just give up (as you or I might, without any kind of vision or hope for something better to come; or without any sense of meaning or purpose to the struggle).</span><br />

I don't get to have stimulating conversation much. I will definitely be studying the timeline. For me, Christmas could be on July 4th and it would still be Christmas, simply as a celebration of Jesus. I also have a deep interest in WICCA and other religions that teach one not to harm others. I have met interesting people today here and may need to ask a question or two of them later. :)</span><br />

<br />
The ancient vampires here in the lair are saying that Friday The 13th reportedly evolved from Norse mythology. You already know that Friday is named after the beautiful love-Goddess Frigga, right? Well, when Christianity took over, belief in Frigga was not merely ridiculed but the church banished Frigga as a "witch" and insisted she convened with 11 other witches and the devil — a gathering of 13. <br />
<br />
Hence we observe the day and number affiliated with Frigga as "evil." Beyond that, we have a medical diagnosis called "<a href="http://www.emaxhealth.com/1357/friggatriskaidekaphobia-fear-friday-13th">friggatriskaidekaphobia</a>," which describes people who suffer "Friday the 13th phobias." (Notice how Frigga's name is inside that diagnosis). Some other tales involving the Knights Templar being murdered on Friday the 13th also surround this mini-Halloween-like holiday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Vlah-haha. (I am joking of course. You're completely safe near me. See my glowing red eyes?)<br />
