Have you not been listening to any debate? Christmas/ Yule is an Aryan holiday that predates Christ's birth. It is the winter solstice which marks the end ofthe shortening of daylight, and the beginning of lengthening of daylight. Thus it signals rebirth of life and goodness.

Before Christ, Christmas marked the birth of "Mithras," a Roman solar deity also called Sol Invictus and related to Persian Zoroastrianism.

So, Christmas has deep roots even for pagan and atheist White folks and I encourage you all to embrace the Christmas cheer and dont be a grinch like the dirty zhids.
