Decorate your trees and deck the halls.
Just know the true meaning behind the mistletoe.
It wasn't always a commercial holiday.

Yes its interesting how early christianity, namely the catholic church, converted european pagans especially celtic pagans, to christianity by adopting their feast days and their calendar.
Some people have this misconstrued notion that these pagans were forced to convert.
In some ways and instances that was true but it seems to me if you really look at it, cajoling is a more appropriate term.
The biggest indicator of this to me is how the catholic liturgical calendar so closely resembles the old pagan calendar.
As a catholic I have learned not to deny the pagan remnants and influences upon my church.
I accept them.
