Christmas is a mashup of loads of other celebrations from loads of different religions. It just makes sense to have a party when everything's cold and horrible. It's not particularly Christian, historically Puritans aren't big fans of it.
Grah I read something about Santa coming down the chimney being related to some pagan thing, googled it, and accidentally came up with this, which is very un-Christmassy.
