Our Christinas Rspiaesd Early Pagan Festivals Long before the birth of Christ, the Greeks, Romans, Saxons and Scandinavians were taking part in December festivals. From the Saxons came the cere- mony of burning the Yule log. The Saxons burned great bonfires in honor of their god Thor. From the Romans came the giving of pres ents, for this custom has been traced to the Roman Saturnalia. It may seem strange to say that pagan riotousness might be the forebear of the Christian holiday of goodness and love, but inter mingled with that which was ob jectionable, were things that have gone straight to the hearts of peo ple throughout the Christian world. And, although few people know it, it was for the purpose of substi tuting a Christian festival for pa gan ones of Romans and Druids that celebrations of Christmas in December were first encouraged and popularized.
