Early Christmas traditions in agriculture
While Christmas is commemorated by Christians to celebrate the birth of Christ, and by non-Christians to celebrate family and togetherness, farmers and rural communities from as early as the 12th century saw Christmas as not only a time of celebration, but as a time to prepare for the upcoming spring and summer season. It was believed that if farmers didn’t follow some of these prescribed traditions, their crops and animals would fail come summer. This perhaps explains why these traditions lasted for hundreds of years; people were simply too afraid to not adhere to them!
