When you gather around the Christmas tree or stuff goodies into a stocking, you're taking part in traditions that stretch back thousands of years - long before Christianity entered the mix. The traditional purpose of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus, who is a symbol of love, light, hope and peace. This makes it a joyful season for true believers.
There is an overwhelming quantity of evidence in books, websites, and videos suggesting that the origin of the traditions celebrated during Christmas are pagan. So much so, that it's generally assumed to be true. But is it?
Join me as I walk through the evidence, deal with the controversy, and then lay out the case that not only is Christmas NOT pagan in origins, it could be a divinely orchestrated series of signs for both the ancient world, and us today.
