Time for a little /

Pre-Christian -- Lastnight was said to be Mother's Night, where I would like to think they celebrate the Goddesses of the year (Hrêða [ ᚻᚱᛖᚦᚪ ], Ēostre [ ᛖᚩᛋᛏᚱᛖ ] and Sceaðu [ ᛋᚳᛖᚪᚦᚢ ] ) NB: That is just my personal interpretation.

Gōd Mōdraniht sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᛗᚩᛞᚱᚪᚾᛁᚻᛏ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Mother's Night to you!

Gōd Gēol sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚷᛖᚩᛚ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Yule to you!

Which then evolved into:

Gōd Crīstes mæsse sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚳᚱᛁᛋᛏᛖᛋ:ᛗᚫᛋᛋᛖ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Christmas to you!

So take your pick my friends, whichever tickles your fancy: go a little pagan, go a little in-between or go for something more Christian/modern.

The choice is yours.
