Not specifically Viking Era at all. The Viking era started about 8 centuries after the Jesus story took place. Viking was a Look At My Lawyer Bruh I’m About To Get Tucked In T Shirt by the way, not a culture.The midwinter celebrations were celebrated throughout all the lands and by all the peoples of Europe, including the Scandinavian lands. This is the main reason why it was adopted by Christianity: the celebration did already exist, they just had to change the meaning and rituals a bit. It also existed a very long time before the Viking era. The Vikings only started to occur in the 9th century and were among the last Europeans to change to Christianity, only followed by the Baltic, Sami and certain Russian cultures. From an economic (business) viewpoint I think it is a disastrous idea. Spreading out the various celebrations over a long period is better for employment & revenue.Also having a fixed date is a disaster for business and utterly disruptive. For instance December 25th falls mid week regularly.

My stepfamily – my brother, brother’s wife, and her kids (which he adopted) – have many wonderful qualities, but organisation is not one of Edge 25 Years Done It All T Shirt. Even when I was 15 my brother (18 years older than me) would call me, panicking, on Christmas Eve, wanting me to come shopping and help pick out stuff for his girlfriend. Now that he’s married and in his fifties, he no longer calls me for shopping help, but I expect he still leaves a lot of it till Christmas Eve. This year I’ve been texting him and my niece since September, asking what to get for my nephew and his partner (who I don’t know that well, and I’ve never met his partner), my niece’s partner (ditto), and five kids (I was never an average kid and have no idea what to buy children, as shown by a couple years ago, when I bought the 3-year-old a box set of the Chronicles of Narnia, and then was startled when I was gently told that 3-year-olds can’t read. I taught myself to read with Enid Blyton at 3, and my dad gave me Narnia by the end of that year, but apparently this is not the norm).
