OK, I understand there are folks who do not celebrate Christmas. They have every right not to celebrate a religious holiday they aren't attached to.
That being said, leave my holiday alone.
While yes, Saternalia took place around this time and the Romans, in an attempt to convert the masses easier to Christianity made the celebration of Christ's birth around the same time. This way the pagans didn't have to give up their big party around the solstice.
This is not why we celebrate Christmas.
Yes, that's the origin of WHEN the holiday is celebrated, but not WHY. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Jesus, our savior. That's the meaning. Try not to get confused.
