December 25 was the traditional date of the winter solstice in the Roman Empire,[45] where most Christians lived, and the Roman festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of Sol Invictus, the ‘Invincible Sun’) had been held on this date since 274 AD.[46]
It didn’t though. Christmas was invented by the Christians to help convert Pagans of the time by saying that Christianity fits in with their celebrations. Christmas origins come from the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.
Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was “oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let’s make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way”.
Stating Christmas is a religious holiday and using the word retarded speaks volumes to your character
Come now, no need to be like that. Everyone’s a bit retarded in our own special way…

I agree the word choice was not correct. I apologize for that. Fixed now.
I don’t understand, Christmas originated from the Christian religion, what exactly does it say about this person’s character?

Using the word retarded is similar to using other derogatory slurs deemed hate speech.
