I look at it this way. If December 25 was known as a pagan holiday, in ancient times, then so be it. Later on in history, the Pope, and other Christian leaders, decided to celebrate Jesus' birthday on that day. If they had picked a different day, no doubt the crybabies out there would be saying that day was a pagan holiday, too
.
Over 1 billion people celebrate Christmas around the world on Dec. 25th as it being Christ's birthday. We don't celebrate it as a pagan holiday. We gather with family, and reflect on what The Savior's birth means to us. Also, we reflect on what his death meant, too. It means for our salvation, he was born, and he died! Our eternal lives depended on him, and he paid our debt, IN FULL!
So to all my Christian brothers and sisters, remember that! Christ = Savior, and Mass = lots of family and friends gathering around, celebrating our Christmas gifts that God gave us! The gifts of love, hope, peace and eternal life
