Jesus. TO ME this holiday is a Christian holiday that I celebrate, in part, by putting up a tree and celebrating and giving gifts to people I love. However it is different things to different people. I can’t say anyone else is wrong and nobody can say that I’m wrong. That is just the meaning I choose to give it. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > no third option needed because no other gods are celebrated on dec. 25th. Incorrect. There are multiple pagan December 25th holidays that pre-date Christianity. The entire reason that Christmas is December 25th is because of other pagan festivals. Back in Rome in the good old days there were a lot of pagans who worshipped Isis, Mithra, etc. The winter solstice was thought to be December 25th. In order to make it easier to convert the pagans to Christianity, December 25th was selected so that the pagans could still celebrate a winter festival on the 25th but slowly get them to start doing it in the name of Christianity. Nobody is actually sure when Jesus was born. ---

Nobody is actually sure when Jesus was born. good points… my favorite part of the history was that in the mid 19th century people almost stopped celebrating christmas. so the christian movement basically got santa into the picture to drag people back into celebrating again… for the sake of this thread call all the pagan gods “santa” since he was basically developed from them. the only reason somebody would pick one of those is to derail my thread anyway. ---

You would say “It is christmas” so you should use it’s correct? I thought that was the rule. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-do-you-plan-to-worship-this-christmas/40571.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-do-you-plan-to-worship-this-christmas/40571.md?page=3)
