You may perhaps wish to look into the roots of the holiday.

Here's a hint: it's a celebration of winter solstice -- celebrating the fact that the days will henceforth be getting longer and not shorter.

You quoted me out of context. Here's the entire quote.

What does December 25th have to do with Jesus? I have a nicely decorated tree with gifts for and from loved ones while we watch movies around a fire. No Jesus needed.

What does December 25th have to do with paganism? To me it's a celebration of the birth of Christ. I don't care if they picked a pagan holiday to celebrate it. I imagine they did it to direct attention away from paganism and toward christianity.

I love how you call them "adult shops".
