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. =)
