What's Christmas Tradition?

Christmas is a religious holiday at this point, probably pagan before it was Christian. There's some parallels with what we see in our Bibles versus kind of the real, what actually happened in Israelite culture. We make the assumption that the Bible reflects that, but archaeologists tell us something different. Think of Christmas as if you were to ask people what's Christmas about and they might get a cluster of answers that have a lot of overlap.
