Christmas? Or not?

The music I'm listening to tis not christmas music. Sure it's about when Jesus was born but Jesus was born on Easter not christmas. Now I'm a strong catholic but christmas first started out as a Pagan holiday where they wold burn people for their sins against the gods. It was one of the darkest times in their year. But when the saints found the Pagans doing this they were appalled because it was people who were pretty much Christen who were being burned because they didn't believe that there was more than one God. The saints thought that this was a major sin and decided to stop the evil holiday by turning it into a Christen holiday. This may not have been the more righteous thing by destroying an important holiday to the Pagan religion but it saved hundreds if not thousands of lives, although one or two thousand seems more likely since there weren't many Pagans left. I'm basing most of this information on knowledge gained though the internet and Boons dock, which is a cartoon based on real information.
