    It seems that they are all pre-Christian celebrations.

    The Alemanni and Saxons celebrated the Solstice and St. John's Day (my birthday) with many traditional pre-Christian fun and games well past their conversions by sword.

    Which "conversions by sword" among the Saxons or Alemanni are these?  ???

    Nearly all by the Franks from what I have read. It took a more than two decades of fighting for Charlemagne to “convert” the Saxons.
