Abstract
The celebration of the Christian Christmas is a tradition well known throughout the world. This website explores how pagan traditions and rituals got turned into the Christmas that we know today. The holiday is celebrated today to celebrate the birth of Christ but most traditions have pagan roots stemming mainly from Yule in Scandinavia and the Roman Saturnalia. The pagan origins of Christmas traditions including Christmas trees, mistletoe, yule logs, and more and how the church morphed them into the Christian holiday are also discussed. Christmas is created from many pagan rituals to become on Christian holiday with rewritten traditions.
