What does god have to do with christmas anyway?

Funny you should ask, the answer is actually nothing, since Christmas was originally a pagan celebration of the winter solstice. You can thank the Romans for conquering the people who created that festival, changing the name to Saturnalia in honor of one of their gods, and then converting to Christianity and weaving Saturnalia into their new favorite mythology because it’s just easier to keep the holiday and say “Actually Jesus was born on this day” rather than explain to revelers why they aren’t supposed to have their usual festivities that they’ve become quite accustomed to having as a matter of tradition.

Even the modern celebration is mostly secular these days. Christmas for many is defined by gift exchange, food, and spending quality time with loved ones, not necessarily worship.
