like halloween, chritmas was a pagan tradition, why cristianity take christmas as it own. oh by the way i also want to know why pagan people were hated?

I believe that the pagans saw this as the day the sun was reborn. As it was about the time that the days started to get longer. So when the Christians saw them they said it was when the Son of God was born. Even though Jesus was more than likely born in April

And Halloween was a Christian holiday before a pagan one

the timing of Christmas coincides with the Pagan holiday of Yule, but Christmas is the Christian holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

edit: i meant to say, before i hit "Post" ... that to clarify, the two holidays are actually separate but yule-tide has been incorporated into Christmas celebrations.

i thin jesus was born in march.

Christmas doesn't even belong to the Christians any more in a sense, it's just a consumer holiday nowadays. I'm atheist and I celebrate it. Pretty much every none Christian I know celebrates it in fact.

But yeah, the date relates back to a pagan holiday. Many of the traditions have links back to other cultures too, such as the Christmas tree.

Yeah, around tax time. Which would be about right with them returning to Bethlehem for the census.

yule-tide sounds better, im gonna call it that from now on, lol

(also, coincidence? somehow I doubt it, more like when they created christianity, they copied stuff from other pre-existing religions/cultures, of course, go back far enough, and you may well find that yule-tide's timing is influenced by another ancient tradition, lost in the mist of human history) 

lol XD

i know its not a coincidence, but the two events are coincident with each other  (not to be confused with coincidental). just means they happen at the same time

btw, if you say the words coincide, coincidence and coincident over and over again in your head they start to sound like gibberish)

The Pagans traded it to the Christians for a jelly donut.

Its simply Early Christian Catholic Church was still under threat from various pagan religions, in order to make Christianity more appealing ( dates similar to old traditional feasts) and combat the pagan churches Pope simply decided to put Christmas around this date, to make people forget about their old gods very clever if you ask me.
