lol it IS a pagan holiday. think about it…a tree??? what the heck does that have to do with jesus??? he wasnt even born then…he was born anywhere from march to may…christmas as it is was set to combine the pagan holiday “sol invictus” meaning the invinsible sun, becasue it was the date of th supposed sun god mithras…and because december 25th is after the shortest day of the year which marks the return or strengthening of the sun, and the “feast of saturnalia” which was a feast in the honor of the supposed roman god of agriculture, which went from december 17th to the 23rd. the idea was to make christianity more appealing as it was forced on the pagans. in fact…constantine at the council of Nicaea changed the historical record to indicate that he was born on the 25th! wow…and they claim they are the true religion…go figure…
anyway, i just use “happy holidays”. its safe…and now accepted as politically correct.
