Okay, so I know I'm stuck in a wonderful place where probably half of you don't know what the hell Christmas is. Now I'm feeling quite generous, so I thought I'd share the story with everyone!
A long time ago there lived this woman, but she wasn't just any woman though; oh no! She was a goddess. Back then people had deities for everything, and this one was the goddess of dirt and fertility. Right, so one day she decides to visit her sister who just so happens to be the goddess of oil, and wooden trinkets. So the younger sister visits, and the elder sister announces that she's pregnant.
Nine months later, a grown man came out from a cave, and a bunch of star-gazers, and sheep herders were amazed at the site! So enchanted were they that they decided to create the first ever department store! Then they immediately convinced everyone to buy a bunch of crap, and give it to people.
And this is why we celebrate Christmas; to celebrate the birth of the first department store!
