Christmas is pagan.
Hanukkah is pagan.
Thanksgiving Day is pagan.

Your momma might be pagan, but that doesn't make any of those statements either true or false. There are no primary sources on the origins of Christmas. None. I like to leave certainty about things that cannot be known by any means available to ordinary people to the prophets.

We can, however, look at circumstantial evidence and draw reasonable conclusions. In my opinion, the weight of evidence points to a majority pagan origin for Christmas and a majority non-pagan origin for Hanukkah. Thanksgiving Day pagan? This is me giving you a squinty side-eye on that one....

Whatever you conclude about these things, just be very careful about accusing "the brethren" based on shadowy circumstantial evidence.

Here are more of my thoughts on the matter. Take them or leave them...
