Very good point.

This thread just seems like an attempt to flame christianity. Most people don't care WHAT origin a holiday is based on, christian or pagan. We live in modern times, holidays have different meanings to us. It's your loss if you don't want to make merry on these days.

Not to burst your bubble, but the wise men didn't show up until a couple of years after the birth of jesus.
