So, this is Christmas....Nimrod?

On this episode of far out dude we discuss the origins of Christmas. Did you ever wonder where these traditions come from? What you've been told was not the truth. Saturnalia is the common answer for some, but few know of Nimrod the sun god. Here we explore a connection thousands of years before Santa Claus and his happy elves appear on the scene. The link to our history is more scandalous than we image. Links below
