well,  christians made the date of christmas as it is because of the
winter solsitice. the pagans had these great celebrations that the
christians couldn't partake in because, well, they were christian, and
couldn't celebrate the solsitice. so they decided to celebrate christmas
then, also for the purpose of converting the pagans. most of our holidays
are pagan anyways. look at halloween. so i really wouldn't be surprised if
they took on that custom too. =)
