To find the first Christmas traditions would be difficult if not impossible today. As to the date of "Christ's Mass"? Why December the 25th? That the date actually goes back to Rome with a festival called 'Saturnalia' . A lot of Romans at the time of the adoption of Christianity into the Roman Empire (AD325) had various feasts. It was a time of revelry, celebration, eating and drinking. It was at the same time both a solstice observance and a harvest festival. On the Julian calendar it was proclaimed in 46 c.e., that the Saturnalia would fall on December twenty- fifth.

Why is ivy a part of Christmas?

Ivy was used as part of Christmas decorations for several reasons. It was believed to symbolise everlasting life, because it was evergreen, but also to symbolise death, because it grew well in shade and in winter. For this reason ivy was sometimes only used in exterior decorations, as death was to be shut out at this time. Ivy and holly were seen as symbolising female and male and therefore the completeness of life.
