Christmas is, or was not too long ago, and entirely Christian holiday. The worshipping the birth of the christ-child and all the REAL reasons behind it are totally religious, not pagan. The timing, not religious. It is a well accepted fact that there is no way that Jesus could have been born at the end of December. The timing we celebrate the holiday on is based on the pagan traditions, amongst other things. The non-christian side of christmas, what with the gift giving, christmas trees and feasting, partying and drinking and all....comes from the pagan holidays, cultural tradition, and marketting scams. Example... Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was entirely and totally made up as a marketting tool by Montgomery Wards in 1939. A christmas time tradition around the world....and it started out as a way to increase sales.

That is my understanding of things, but i could be wrong.
