According to about 30 minutes of research, about the same amount of time as when I was in high school, I found that Christmas was based on a Pagan holiday. To sum it up, when King James decided to declare his reign as a Christian one, all other holidays were pulled together so that the holidays weren't obliterated, just adapted. Since both religions celebrated Dec 25th it was easy to blend them into one holiday.
With this knowledge I have decided one thing...we have lost our pagan roots. Where are the goat leggings? Where is the pig roasting over the open flame? Come on Jesus, lets dance around the fire!
