The Hidden History of Christmas: From Saturn to Santa

The Hidden History of Christmas: From Saturn to Santa Christmas didn’t begin as a Christian holiday—and it certainly didn’t begin as Jesus’ birthday. In this deep historical breakdown, we trace the real origins of Christmas, from ancient Roman winter festivals like Saturnalia and Sol Invictus, through early Christianity’s struggle with delayed expectations, to the modern holiday shaped by Victorian morality, Santa Claus, and consumer culture. This video explores: Why the New Testament never gives a date for Jesus’ birth Why early Christians avoided birthdays altogether How December 25 became symbolically powerful long before Christianity How Christianity adapted pagan calendars instead of erasing them Why medieval Christmas was chaotic—not family-friendly Why Puritans tried to ban Christmas entirely How the 19th century reinvented Christmas around family, children, and consumption How Santa Claus evolved from ancient myths, folklore, and modern marketing Why Christmas survives not because it’s fixed—but because it evolves This is not an attack on Christmas—and it’s not an attempt to take meaning away from it. It’s an honest look at how traditions are built, adapted, resisted, and repurposed over time. If you’ve ever wondered where Christmas really comes from—or why it still matters even without belief—this is the story.
