Merry Christmas, Hacker News!
Today is a day made for celebrating the birth of Christ. Later, a tradition of giving gifts and spending time with family. I pray God blesses you in each of these things.
If anyone here is unfamiliar with what Christmas is, this page has links explaining the birth of Christ and why it’s one of history’s greatest events:

- octopoc 2y agoActually gift giving at the winter solstice far predates Jesus. For instance the tradition of Santa coming down the chimney comes from a time in Britain when there was a terrible snowstorm and the poor people were starving. The Druids had food to give them but couldn’t get in the doors because the snow was so deep. So they sent the food down the chimneys! Having said that, merry Christmas!!
