The History of Christmas

December 25 was regarded as the birthday of Mithras, he was born in Iran and he was called "The Sun of Righteousness" according to Colliers Encyclopedia. The Romans at that time held December 17 as the day of Saturnalia, a time of partying and exchanging gifts, that's where our "Christmas presents" come from.

The Romans changed the day to December 25th because of the feast of the Sun god (natalis solis invicti) the birth of the Invincible Sun was celebrated then, so they decided Saturnalia would also be celebrated at this time, the winter solstace.

December 25th was celebrated even before Mithras. Various other gods had half-human god babies also born on December 25th, including Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Lord Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. If you were a god born to a human woman, you were born on December 25th, and your mother's name would most likely be Mary. It was always a trinityGod the father, the holy virgin mother, and a baby. Only the names have changed over the years since the tower of Babel, when Semiramis, the mother of Nimrod, became also his wife, had his baby, Tammuz on December 25th (whom she also married when he grew up). And declared that the god Nimrod was reincarnated in his son, Tammuz. This was called the "mystery of the trinity," (God in three persons). December 25th of the Julian calendar, I might addthe solstice. What used to be December 25th is now December 21st as the Gregorian calendar has it, So even the day itself is off from what it was before Gregory the 13th.

Over the years the story was repeated. The father was Baal, Osiris, Orion, Molech, Saturn, Odin, Seb, Zeus, etc., but not Yahweh, the Hebrew God. Yahweh was single, the one and only, Yahweh had no wife or child, and never would.
The virgin Mother has been Ishtar, Isis, Aurora, Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus, Diana, and about nineteen different Marys, or variations of the name Mary.

The blessed child was the moon god Sin, Child of the Sun, Bacchus, Buddha, Horus, Thor, Jesus, Hercules, Issus, Mazda, Isuzu, Datsun, Toyota, Volkswagen and a roller skate; and many more too numerous to mention.
Telesphorus, second bishop of Rome in 136 AD held the first Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus on December 25th
He did this to get Christians to celebrate Christ on the same feast day as the god Mithras, so that they would not be singled out as "different" from the Catholic Romans who celebrated their Saturnalia on that
