Apparently Coca-Cola invented Christmas, so seeing the truck is up there with visiting the baby Jesus.
British Army beat the German Army 1-0 in a match marking the anniversary of the Christmas Day Truce match.
Aren't they reason that Santa Claus wears red and white or is that an Urban Myth? Maybe that should be Saint-a Claus... sorry.
There is an urban myth that Coca-Cola were the first to portray Santa in red and white, their corporate colours, but it isn't true. He has been decked out in red and white for centuries.
Used to be in blue and white (to copy the colours associated with the Virgin Mary)....Coca Cola made red and white the colours of choice, but as said, had been used before.
As a side note, the Virgin Mary was brought to the fore in Christian worship as a replacement for Isis (a very popular Goddess for women in Egypt and Rome). Isis wore blue and had a crown incorporating the moon. If you look at pictures or statues, you will often see a moon on top of the Virgin Mary's head.
Just as the Christmas festivities were held at midwinter to replace the pagan Yule ceremony. The whole story of the Nativity in the stable in the winter is a direct theft of the story of the Roman soldiers' god Mithras.
Myths and legends (which may have had some basis in truth) are retold for thousands of years and get attached to subsequent heroes, such as Jesus. Everyone is familiar with the stories, so they are useful to pass on universal truths to worshippers. It is easier than getting everyone to abandon what they known and what they celebrate (like a midwinter festival).
Coca Cola is the enemy of Xmas. You did the right thing. As for you Jasper! I love Chrustmas day and the holiday after it, it's. The massive commercial build up I cant stand!
