Christ mas?

[savedbygrace05]

For pre-Christian, pagan mid-winter festivals? Stonehenge

For Saturnalia specifically? Catullus 14:
"Quem tu scilicet ad tuum Catullum
misti, continuo ut die periret,
Saturnalibus, optimo dierum!"

There's masses more, but you already know that.

Bah humbug

Should Atheists and Humanists be banned from celebrating Christmas?

No, the fact that we're celebrating the birth of Christ 3 months too late each year to incorporate it in to secular winter festivals should clearly not exclude non religious people..

Bah humbug

A phrase brought to us directly from a book about humanitarian christmas, not a celebration of Jesus' birth. See, even you can't help yourself

No, the fact that we're celebrating the birth of Christ

Fact? What fact? Celebrating yes, but it has zero to do with the birth of a political preacher.
