For thousands of years Christians have been borrowing bits and pieces of celebration symbols from local pagans. Even the date, December 25th, corresponds to the winter solstice of the sun's movement (based on the older calendar).
The modern legal framework now allows the pagans to collect royalties on the commercial usage of items such as the decorated pine tree, mistletoe, holly, and other favorites of the holiday usually known as "Christmas". "It should be called Paganmas," said pagan Billy Fyrebrin.
