I mean Christmas was originally about bringing in forest spirits (believed to live in evergreens) to protect your home from evil spirits (probably bugs), so, godzilla is pretty on point
Pretty sure christains stole winter solstice from the Pagans and changed it
what I described was a pagan tradition, which was "adopted" by, iirc, the catholic church so pagans could convert and still celebrate thier traditions. I don't remember all the winter solictice traditions but I am sure other traditions or holidays have been added to the amalgam over the centuries, like, the whole deal with Santa.
