TOO MUCH XMAS? ๐
๐ฅณ
I hope you didnโt overindulge this Christmas, but then, thatโs what itโs all about isnโt it? ๐
Pampering the senses with decorations, lights, carols and Christmas feasts. ๐๐ป Lavishing each other with parties, gifts, and oft-times, new experiences. ๐๐ And itโs something weโve been doing for thousands of years.
To celebrate the passing of winter, the Ancient Greeks held the festival of Haloa around the same time as Christmas. While the men made all the preparations, the women drank and devoured cock-shaped cakes. ๐ฅ Later, everyone sang and danced the night away around a bonfire, talking dirty. ๐ซฆ๐
Yep, those Ancient Greeks knew how to party - as well as do philosophy.
Indulging ourselves is a fucking great part of being alive, and itโs wonderful that we have a specific time of year to loosen up and devote ourselves to celebration. ๐๐ฅฐ
Next cocky philosopher post coming soon! ๐
