“It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries the Christians also took part. Accordingly when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnised on that day.”

This idea became popular especially in the 18th and 19th centuries and is still widely accepted.

The police should’ve administrated breathalyzers to everyone on the beach including the dog.

The police were actually great, they made an announcement and some decided not to move their cars.

It is well known every year where to park if you do not want a ticket, however sometimes being lazy is worth $50.

As always, it was my favorite day of the year, ex-pats, onions, dogs, children, grandparents and all.

Happy New Year

really, jesus actually existed?! i always thought he was a gardener from Puerto Rico…please find me some definitive historical proof that a) Jesus was born on 25 Dec b) that he even existed. and the bible doesn’t count as solid historical proof

The cars were very dangerously parked along the whole corner…

I figure the police were very nice to direct what became one-way traffic safely around the corner…

They could have just ordered the cars to be towed at the owners’ expense…

I just hope they cleaned up after themselves, many times I have gone for a walk along that beach and found myself collecting the trash after their Christmas bash. One year we counted 41 empty champagne bottles thrown along the beach not to mention glasses and other types of empty containers. this is a public beach for ALL to enjoy.

When people obey the law and park legally AND sensibly, the police won’t have to issue tickets… The parking was atrocious….. Bah to that.

Very nice celebration. Unfortunately, the police were having a ball putting tickets on all the cars parked along the roadside by Elbow! Bah humbug to the policemen doing it!
