What does Paganism have to do with Christmas?

Answer:
Christmas is the Judeo-Christian equivalent of the ancient pagan festival of Yule. Yule marks the end of the Winter Solstice, and celebrated in 21st or 22nd of December, (Depending on the Georgian Calendar Correction).
Yule is also the celebration of the Re-Birth of the Pagan Horned God.

Yule is celebrated with lighting candles to welcome the Re-Born God, and decorating a tree with white decorations and light.

Many pagan households celebrate Yule with family gatherings, gift exchanges, singing, feasting, Rituals and an all night vigil, often candle lit in reverence of the goddess in her mother form as she labours to gift birth to the god in his aspect of the sun. One of the more common rites of passage for young men is to tend the fires at this vigil.
