THE TWELVE MYTHS OF CHRISTMAS
The first myth of Christmas my true love told to me...
The 'Christmas is pagan' meme was invented twice. Once by Naturalistic approaches to religion in the late 1800s (Christmas = Invictus festival = sun cults), once by the Puritans in mid-1600s England (Christmas = Saturnalia = Yule).
Mainstream scholars haven't taken Naturalism seriously since the 1920s. And no one should ever take Puritan propaganda at face value.
