In Scotland the first person to enter the house after midnight on NewYearsEve is said to affect the fortune of the household for the year ahead. They should come bearing gifts, traditionally being a lump of coal, a black bun, shortbread and whisky, and be a dark-haired male. Someone with fair hair is said to bring bad luck, believed to be a throwback to the Viking invasion when a fair-haired male on the doorstep meant anything but good luck!
Happy New Year to everyone!

My fellow ethnic Europeans, although we are not physically together during these winter celebrations, we are together in spirit. I wish you all a happy New Year! This coming year let’s dig even deeper into our true history, and unravel more hidden truths about our people, about our past.
Let’s all continue to honor our ancestors, and our gods, and never let the flame go out. Let’s continue to counteract the actions of those who wish to deliberately tamper with our history, our folklore, and mythology, those who deny that ethnic Europeans are included in the list of indigenous people of earth, those who want to erase us as a people. And we do this by continuing with our independent research, and spreading awareness, by educating people about European heritage, European history, Folklore, Mythology, and our NATIVE TRIBAL NATURE-BASED SPIRITUALITY.
I love you all. Be well, and happy new year, Happy Kolyada! It’s not necessary for you to be an ethnic European to be part of this, because as long as you are someone who respects your own ancestors, and your own heritage, and you respect the sovereignty of indigenous people everywhere, which of course includes ethnic Europeans, then we are on the same side.

Yuletide Apples & Oranges
A once common gift for Yuletide were the fruits Apples and Oranges, with the Apples long predating the Oranges. They were a common gift or reward from Sinterklaas, and are often associated with a later legend of Saint Nicholas and the three golden balls he tossed into a family's home to avoid them putting their daughters to work as whores. Though it also serves as a solar symbol, as many use the Orange slice ornaments for a solar wheel. Apples also double as a symbol of the tree of life and barren apple trees were sometimes used in place of the common pine trees for communal Yuletide trees. The Oranges arose due to both being a luxury early on having to be imported or grown in Florida where it's solar symbolism was only heightened by "The Sunshine State". Santa Claus then began delivering them to peoples stockings. Whether sweet treat, Symbol of life or of the sun. I know some apples and some citrus are a welcome addition to the Yuletide season and the custom of Wassailing.-TLK

This is a good little article that briefly introduces the reader to Christianization of European nations, and to the native faiths of Europeans prior to Christianization. However, this is only the top layers of the surface of this deep topic. There is so much more to this. These kinds of articles/blogs are good for the beginners, for those who have never independently studied Christianization of Europe, or the native, pre-Christian faiths of indigenous Europeans.

European Paganism and Christianization
In contemporary conversations about decolonization, this is a point which is often overlooked – Europeans are indigenous too. Before the spread of Christianity, Europe was home to a profusion…
