The following are some of the major symbols taken from pagan rituals observed at Christmas:
The Christmas tree was meant to honor Odin, the Norse God. It would have been hung with the sacrifice of nine animals. The tradition of the tree was co-opted by Marin Luther, and later brought to the New World.
Kissing under the mistletoe was one of the pagan rituals observed around the winter solstice. Mistletoe is associated with peace and love.
Holly and ivy are symbols of rebirth and the promise of spring. Decking the halls with boughs of holly is now interpreted as the coming of Christโs birth, and the spring of Christianity.
Santa Claus may have once been Odin or Thor, who was thought to visit once a year and leave presents for good children, in their shoes. However, the exchange of gifts at Christmas is also closely tied to the visit of the kings. In some countries, Epiphany, or Three Kings Day on the sixth of January remains the traditional time for exchanging gifts. -

The X is Xmas comes from the Greek letter Chi, as an abbreviated form of the Greek word Xipatรณs (except written in the Greek alphabet and looks different.) "Xipatรณs" means Christ. So Xmas = Christmas. It's not really trying to downplay Christ, although some may take it that way.

Amen to this entire thread. Merry Christmas everyone! โช๐๐

And Merry Christmas, by the way!

No hardly, it's just another way of saying christmas, scribes have been doing it for a 1000 years- where's the conspiracy in that?The X is Xmas comes from the Greek letter Chi, as an abbreviated form of the Greek word Xipatรณs (except written in the Greek alphabet and looks different.)

Well when someone comes along who thinks they know what their talking about I'll have to call you out of the heresy that has been put to rest thousands of years. It's called a genetic fallacy, your taking terms and traditions of Christians and assuming that they are practicing pagan rituals. That isn't true. Usually scholarly work helps when it's given- athiest or anti Christians love to make our founding fathers roll in their graves by using parallelism to "debunk" our tradition or what we believe. It's the CONCLUION that makes the fallacyโณสโฒสแนฃฯฎแธญโฆรช (โณโโฌ) wrote:

I think maybe some negative comments are just a defense mechanism used to try and convince themselves that god does not exist. Otherwise they would not care what our opinions are ,because I can assure you I don't care what theirs is . I do know I almost died 4 weeks ago and my faith is stronger than anyone's disbelief .augustine god bless my friend and merry CHRISTmas to you and yours
