The Christmas holiday was created to turn the winter solstice into a christian holy day for christians, and was created in order to give the winter solstice holiday a special meaning for them. For christians it has always been a celebration of Christ's birth. No christians are celebrating Christmas to honor it's pagan roots. It doesn't matter a whit to me what the pagans celebrated on that date. When you celebrate Christmas are you honoring a pagan belief?
No...., I'm not, but don't take my word for it, google is your friend. Yes, christmas is a way of christianizing the winter solstice - as I said. No, they aren't honoring any pagan roots - as I said. I'm not sure why you think you're disagreeing with me. Is it the motive of the early church that bothers you, why they christianized the solstice? Tough titties, take it up with them.
