Christmas is the telling of death and resurrection of the Sun.
December 21 is the Winter Solstice where the sun completes its journey on the ecliptic and on December 25 it resumes its path back the other way.
Thus to ancient man the sun would die at sunset on December 21 and would lay in the tomb until it was reborn on December 25.

To my fellow Atheists waging the War On Christmas: Who do I have to blow to be included in this thing? You guys have this organized campaign to destroy Christmas, and are purposely leaving me out of it, as I have received no communications regarding planning, rallies, Nativity-burnings- NOTHING. At the very least, link me to a website for people waging war on Christmas.

EVERYTHING has pagan roots <Duh>
That's not a war on Christmas, those people are pussies.
Then you should be planting IEDs outside church doors while everyone is inside and wait for them to come out.

How many other Gods (or sons of) claimed to be born on the Winter Solstice?
To be honest, I don't think any of them.
