@rezaaslan Brumalia, rather than Saturnalia?
Christmas absorbed Roman holiday Brumalia, honoring Bacchus: god of wine. It required binge of feasting and revelry from 11/24 to 12/25.

@LessThanZel Brumalia originally celebrated god Saturn and thus 12/25 was called Saturnalia, but month long holiday was called Brumalia
