Not only that, but almost every aspect of how they celebrate "christmas" was stolen from other religions around the world.

biggest show of hypocrisy I have ever seen!!!
 Quoting: viking thunder


you don't know anything. Nothing about Christmas
was ever stolen from any other local custom or
festival. What you're referring to is merely the
transition of local cultures infusing some of
their long-standing traditions into the celebration,
and nothing more.

The truth is that a growing number of people
especially those young enough not to know better
and whom are thoroughly uneducated and uninformed
are getting too much deceptive, baseless tripe
off the internet. Jesus was real. There is no
doubt about it in 2000 years, and that truth
exists totally apart from your or anyone else's
lack of knowledge.
Good Day.

You, my friend, know ABSOLUTELY nothing about the history behind this. there were no cultures infusing traditions. The church actively changed their own ceremonies and traditions when they moved into a new area in an attempt to more easily convert the locals. The locals did not color the traditions. The traditions were intentionally changed by outsiders moving to a new area to convert people.

From the tree, to the presents, to the decorations, to the traditions, EVERY SINGLE part of the christmas holiday as it is celebrated today has been stolen from past pagan tradition. Christmas as it is celebrated today is absolutely a PAGAN holiday.
 Quoting: viking thunder


everything you just said is untrue garbage.
I have a Masters Degree in History among other
studies. Pagan is a general word. The Roman
Saturnalia was a multi-week feast of 2 weeks
at the Winter Solstice. Christmas became the
Roman State holiday when Christianity became
the official religion of the Emperor. The Church
allows its faithful to incorporate some
of their former traditions such as Yule, etc
and they are different in different places.
The way "we" celebrate Christmas today is commercial
because capitalism and industrialists influenced
society starting in the later 1800s. That goes
for many other holidays and way of life, not just
Christmas.
Also, it's the Epiphany which is more popular around
the world as the day to exchange gifts, as that was
the day the Wise Men gave their gifts to Emmanuel.
