It's commonly asserted that Christmas has pagan origins. This idea, although popular on the internet and on History Channel (has HC really done any history in the last two decades or is it just all Ancient Aliens and Pawn Stars now?), the reality is that when you actually dig into the origin of these supposed pagan roots they really start to fall apart.
Sol Invictus - 3:14
Saturnalia - 5:14
Brumalia - 6:18
Origin of Dec. 15th - 7:30
Christmas trees - 9:19
"It's not in the Bible so don't do it" - 15:31
