Aristotle would have at least taken a whack at it.

I have to go with Marx, he looks the most like Santa.
How do you think Marx was able to make his ideology so popular? He invented Christmas to instill communist ideals into the minds of everyone who celebrates the holiday
So that's why Santa went from green to RED!
Man where is philosophymemes. Lemmy needs a community like this so bad.
I think you just appointed yourself founder and moderator
Nah I’m already modding 4 communities and have a disabling illness I’m sure someone else has more free time to do it.
Diogenes: I shat in your stocking.
Diogenes gets to much credit for acting like a Hobo, he was just a cynical edge lord before it became popular. Who made a name for himself by acting up in public. He should be ashamed of himself for presenting such destructive and inaccurate ideas as a beneficial philosophy.
Found Plato
Idk, people who aspire to manifest diogenes are still better than people who aspire to manifest any billionaire.
Bob, my neighbor across the street: I don’t care that it’s March, I have the best Christmas lights display in the entire subdivision!
At least you're not gettin gouged by an HOA or they'd be shuttin that shit down by Jan 6 or so!
I egg
therefore
I nog
IO! SATVRNALIA!
I just thought it was funny that for a Roman historian such as yourself, the comic highlighted thinkers from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th centuries ... jumps over to a Greek and completely skipped over the entire Roman era.
Oh, that's the terrible part about me - I'm horribly lazy. I just share what I find elsewhere, very rarely do I MAKE memes! XD
To be fair, Roman philosophy is... less than robust, lmao. The best two Roman philosophers (Marcus Aurelius and Musonius Rufus) are both very orthodox Stoics in the Greek tradition.
I think I’ll go with Socrates. The unexamined Christmas is not worth celebrating.
I would argue the examined Christmas is hard to celebrate.
Precisely.
I think Marx would be down with the era of wassailing Christmas celebrations. The poor get drunk and take the belongings of rich.
I think Karl knew a thing or two about getting drunk himself.
Descartes is pretty accurate to me trying to get into the festive mood this year
this is only the fourth day of Christmas. we are nowhere near pipers piping.
