Almost all the traditions have pagan roots. Our Solstic celebration looks almost exactly like any Christmas celebration. Just substitute "Sun" for "son".
But I'm not bitter about the commercialism or the stolen ideas. I think there is a human NEED to get together during the darkest time of the year. That's one reason why the traditions have lasted so long.
Anyway, anyone who argues that "Peace on Earth" is a bad idea is a whacko.
