Really? American Christmas is so commercialized as to be grotesque and sacrilegious. My mere acknowledgment of this fact is the real conservative viewpoint.
Over commercialized, I agree. It’s sad and pathetic how little our modern civilization celebrates Christmas, with almost no thought of the point and purpose of the Holiday’s true Christian meaning.
Most people give no thought to Christ, or more typically now days, deliberately avoid any mention of him on his birthday to avoid offending the perpetually butt hurt and noisy segment of our population.
However, that is not pagan.
When most people refer to a “pagan celebration of Christmas”, they’re referring to the customs, iconography and rituals of the traditional Christmas season. Christmas tree, celebrating in December, Santa Claus, Etc.
Those things do have a Christian origination source. But it became fashionable years ago to claim that all our Christmas celebrations were based on pagan rituals, or were modified to more closely resemble them.
That’s what I was referring to.
