Christmas of Christian Origin or Pagan?

Jim Duke Perspective

In this episode we try to defend against the arguments of those who debunk the Christmas myths. Some claim Christmas was originally a Christian festival that pagans adopted rather than a pagan festival that Christians adopted and gave it the name. We share the similarities and how the claim that all the decor of Christmas was originally Christian, even when it has no relation to Christ in itself outside influence from pagan belief.
This is not to shame people for celebrating Christ's birthday at this traditional time, but we have to state the facts and correct the claims.
