trivia and fun facts
The Christmas season as we celebrate it today, in the big picture, has only been around for
a few years. The first celebrations held before the birth of Christ were pagan holidays that
celebrated the beginning of winter. One such holiday observed by the Roman Empire was
Saturnalia. It was a celebration honoring Saturn, the god of the harvest. In the western
world, the birth of Christ has been celebrated on December 25th since 354 A.D. The
celebration was created in the hopes of replacing the pagan god worship with a religious
observance. In 1645, Christmas was banned in England
as it was deemed to be a
celebration of indulgence. In America, Christmas was not recognized as a federal
holiday until 1870.
