All Bruce Willis movies are secretly Christmas movies.

The Long Kiss Goodnight is THE Christmas movie.

“Nakatomi Tower” is how you say “Tower of Babel” in ancient Aramaic. Doubters need only consult their Bible.

Um akshually, Christmas was being celebrated a century before then but didn’t have a set date yet. There’s a good chance both holidays picked the 25th because it’s the winter solstice and everyone was into astrology back then.

Hopefully I don’t get attacked like the last time I mentioned this. Also, a lot of the other “pagan” traditions in Christmas, like the yule log, showed up centuries after Norse paganism died out, which was a completely different religious tradition from Roman paganism.

If you want criticize early Christianity just point out how the gospels were written a generation after all the eyewitnesses died and that a bunch of other books didn’t make the final cut of the bible, e.g. gospel of Thomas.

Justinian intervened and wrote it into his code that die hard must always be played on Christmas in every Byzantine household.
