I remember a Christian man coming into my school about ten years ago and telling the Christian story.
They stole a lot of Pagan holidays. Yule, for instance! I mean, there's very little evidence to suggest Jesus was born on the 25th, let alone in December. There were only ten months a the time of his birth anyway!
