LOOK AGAIN..http://www.atruechurch.info/christmas.html
The birthday of Mithra (the sun god) was December 25. Instead of opposing this idolatry, the Catholic church literally made up the idea that December 25 was Christ's birthday, and celebrated the pagan holiday with a new name, "Christmas." In a children's book entitled Christmas (by Jane Duden), the following is said:
At first, only a small number of people in the Roman Empire were Christians. All the non-Christians were called pagans. The pagans had festivals of their own on or near December 25. For example, Romans held year-end celebrations to honor Mithra, their god of light.
One of the most popular pagan festivals was Saturnalia .... People gave gifts to each other and prepared special foods. They decorated their homes with green branches. Everywhere, people stopped work to join in the celebration.
Christian leaders did not have an easy time converting non-Christians (or pagans) to the Christian religion. Pagans liked their harvest and winter festivities. They did not want to give them up. That is why, over the years, popes (the spiritual rulers of the Roman Catholic church) and church leaders allowed many favorite ancient customs to become part of Christmas celebrations. (p. 8-9)

Haha, let's just say that because we decide to celebrate gods birthday on December 25 aswell doesn't mean that we actually got the whole idea from Pagans, anyways I'm methodist, not catholic.

Methodist, catholic, the only difference is can priests be married, and a note on the door. 🙂
What the Christian church did (at the time Methodists did not exists) to subdue other nations was to adopt their holidays and rename them. Many of the saints are really pagan gods turned into christen icons. This is fact that you can look up in the library for your self, don't take my word find the information yourself.
