Saturnalia
Not many people realize that most Christmas traditions were adopted from pagan society. During the Saturnalia, people roamed the streets drunk and naked, singing blessings to Saturn, the fertility god. Nowadays, Christmas carolers wear six layers of clothing and badger people on their doorsteps with songs about disgusting pudding concoctions and sleigh riding. Yeah, things have gone kind of downhill over the last 2000 years.
