# Look;
Christmas always was a pagan festival anyway, and it's the pagan aspect of present giving and eating yummy food that's actually celebrated.
To celebrate the Christian Christmas you have to go to church and pray and stuff. So don't feel put out by Christmas being Christian; it isn't really, and nor is Easter.

# The Romans
worshipped whichever gods they encountered in their invading and whatnot. It wasn't unusual for Romans to worship Egyptian gods and so on. It didn't really bother them which gods you worshipped, as longs as the gods were kept happy and didn't go around smiting.
