Saturnalia was celebrated from Dec 14th to Dec 24, followed by the Persian god Mithra's celebration on Dec 25th. They didn't pick these days to fit some unknown celebration conducted by first century Christians. We have no record of any pagans copying off early Christians. Please be my guest to offer more information that shows that pagans copied the early Christians as the date of Dec 25th. Your article writer never does that.
