Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.....
" The two most notable pagan winter holidays were Germanic Yule and Roman Saturnalia.
Christian missionaries gave these holidays a makeover and they are now known to us as Christmas.......
Saturnalia was a lawless, drunken time in Rome where literally anything was okay — laws were suspended for a brief stretch of time.
Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture, liberation and time (and parties!), was celebrated at what is perhaps the most famous of the Roman festivals, the Saturnalia, It was a time of feasting, role reversals, free speech, gift-giving and revelry. (read: gender-bending sex, drinking, telling people off, trading gifts and doing whatever you want)."

Historical evidence suggests that Jesus, the person, was born in the springtime — but that Christian missionaries adopted Yule celebrations in order to appease and convert pagans who were deeply, spiritually attached to their own holidays. Early Christians were also fascinated by the rural, rustic pagan traditions.
