text: Is it too much to mention that there is virtually nothing Christian about Christmas?
  
  Keep in mind that this was an old "pagan" holiday to celebrate the winter solstice.  There's a reason why you won't ever find any mention of decorating evergreen trees anywhere in the bible.  This, and most other things we do around Christmas time, have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity.
  
  The injection of Christianity into the winter solstice celebrations has a variety of historical roots, but was mostly done for the sake of convenience.  Christians wanted some day to celebrate the birth of Christ so why not lump in with a day that was already being widely celebrated, hence the selected the (northern hemisphere) winter solstice in the Roman calendar, December 25th.
  
  So what do we celebrate?  Well mostly a mix of pagan traditions combined with modern consumerism and the celebration of a figure who's modern likeness was popularized by a soft drink company.
  
  Christian?  Not so much.
