    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.

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

        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.
