because it makes it easier for pagans to accept/get converted into Christianity, the same reason muslims worship a fucken rock

They don't.
>>
>>52183598
Because they were in the process of converting pagans and being no fun allowed Jews didn't really appeal to the masses

>>52183598
Go back to worship your pre-islamic black rock and god, muhammad

Do Christians outside of Europe (that weren't converted by Europeans) celebrate Christmas? Or did they before American influence?

No its not, Christmas is Christ's mass, dates to the post-Christian era (duh).

You are thinking of Yule which is December 21 (solstice). Yule is a pagan festival where the ancient straw goat would do something to make it the winter solstice. In Britain they got melded to the same holiday so Yule and Christmas were used interchangeably, using "Yuletide Greetings" even while they were celebrating Christmas.

Jews have Hannukah they play dreidel and get 7 days of presents in honor of their ancient ancestors.

Yes they do. Pretty much all over the Christian world. I mean, I guess you can argue most of Christianity passed through Europe at some point, but yes, the Oriental Orthodox etc. also celebrate Christmas obviously, though like other Orthodox (European and otherwise) they celebrate it a bit later.

Well, December 25 is the day Mithra was born, so yes, christmas is a "pagan holiday".

That doesn't make Christmas a "pagan holiday", at most this would mean that Mithra and Jesus share a birthday.

That said:
1) Christmas came before Sol Invicta. Sol Invicta was made after Christians already started celebrating Christmas on December 25. The idea that Christmas was based on the date of Sol Invictus is a 12th century meme which hasn't stood up academically nor does it stand up in actual Church documents from the time explaining which date should be chosen and why.

2) Even if we pretended that Sol Invictus actually really did predate Christmas (it doesn't), 2 holidays being on the same day doesn't make the one into the other. St. Patrick's day is also National Muay Thai Day. This doesn't make St. Patrick's Day a "martial arts" holiday.
