It's that time of the year again when we celebarte the birth of our God Tammuz. During the Winter Solstice on December 21st our ancient ancestors would celebrate the rebirth of Tammuz who was symbolised conquering death by the evergeen tree.
After 3 days the ancient Babylonians would cut a tree from the forest and decorate it with silver and gold to celebrate the birth of our ancient God.
The Iranians adopted our ancient festival and called it Yalda, and the Yule log also originated during this time. The word Yule is Syriac for male child, hence the tradition of the Yule log.
The Romans adopted the practice from the Persians and we've re-adopted the ancient practice from the Romans and the Catholic church of ourse.

Unlike the majority of our people however I prefer a genuine Rolex instead of a fugazi.
