Pagan Holiday Season

I'll probably be seen as a scrooge but . . . There is no Biblical basis for christmas. Most folks should know by now that the "roots" of christmas are the pagan holiday of Saturnalia. The RC incorporated it into "christianity" in the 4th century to appease the romans. Even the "traditions" of the tree, mistletoe, and gift giving are all pagan based.
Folks complain that the observeance of christmas is all about "commercialization", but it never has been different. The Puritans banned it. Throughout most of history it has been used as an excuse to kill jews.
I don't "observe" christmas myself and am surprised by the arguments about "merry christmas" versus "happy holidays". The word holiday comes from "Holy day" - again a pagan influence on the RC.
Anyway, hope everybody stays safe and well for the rest of the year and beyond.

In Brotherly Love,

Wayne
