    Christmas should be the first removed. It’s a day for worshipping a spiritual being many don’t believe in.

        According to some scholars, the emperor Aurelian instituted in AD 274 the festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (‘birthday of the Invincible Sun’) on 25 December,[53] the date of the winter solstice in the Roman calendar.[54]
