you are right sledge . . . but since a tiny proportion of so-called Christians attend church or consider their religion in any meaning ful way during their typical week then equally you could say that its Christian foundations have very little bearing on the way 90% of people actually participate and enjoy the festive period. I suggest that the pagan foundations and the mid-winter feasting is the more dominant energy nowadays.
Very good point.
Do a search on yule and you'll (get it) find a great deal of info on the pagen winter solstice stuff. I think the christian movement used an existing event to market their own thing and gain converts!
