    I mean Christmas was originally about bringing in forest spirits (believed to live in evergreens) to protect your home from evil spirits (probably bugs), so, godzilla is pretty on point

        what I described was a pagan tradition, which was “adopted” by, iirc, the catholic church so pagans could convert and still celebrate thier traditions. I don’t remember all the winter solictice traditions but I am sure other traditions or holidays have been added to the amalgam over the centuries, like, the whole deal with Santa.
