"Most biblical scholars and preachers readily admit that they know Christ was not born on December 25th. However, they claim that this day is as good as any other to celebrate the birth of Jesus, despite the fact that it was originally a pagan celebration called Saturnalia which commemorated the birth of the sun god."

So happy birthday Sturnalia. Sorry about your thunder being stolen so long ago.

^^^^ Saturnalia is the name of the holiday. You should be wishing the sun god a happy birthday.

... I bet that delivery sucked. "Oh, you gave birth to a 10 pound kind and that was bad. Try having a timeless deity manifest as a ball of self-sustaining fusion come out of your crotch."

One of the reasons (among others) for choosing this date was to get those who celebrated Saturnalia to convert

"You worship a lord this day? So do we! Must be the same dude! We should do it together!"
