Christmas is a European pagan tradition, really we base our holidays around seasons of which due to the importance of them also feature many religious events.
On the other hand its turned into a decedant festival of feasting and alcohol so the pagans kind of won on that one. Which is also the reason for celebrating it for all the non-christians that do.

I hate that argument because the reason why it’s still celebrated isn’t the pagan origin but its appropriation by the Christian Church.

By that logic, if you get enough people to party on a specific day, the government will make it a holiday, right?
