THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SHOW
Chris discusses controversies concerning the Christmas holiday, and whether or not the tradition is based on old paganism. Some argue that the yearly acknowledgement of the birth of Christ was created to give the early Christians a reason not to be involved in pagan celebrations, and that December 25 was actually the feast of Sol Invictus the "Invincible Sun." However, other researchers strongly disagree, and argue that the celebration of Christmas precedes the pagan events by nearly a hundred years.
