The Enciclopedia Hispánica notes: "The date of December 25 for the celebration of Christmas is not the result of a strict chronological anniversary but, rather, of the Christianization of the festivals of the winter solstice." The ancient Romans celebrated the rise of the sun in the winter sky by feasting, revelry, and the exchanging of presents.-12/15, pages 4-5.
