Have you not look at the etymology of Saturnalia? Better yet, have you not look at the origin to what Saturn means?

I have. No need to pull etymology. saturnalia was literally dedicated to saturn. The idol of the city of Rome. And yes, have looked into saturn as well... horrible. Does that, have anything to do with Christmas? It's insane when you think about it.
Depends on what Christmas is.
It does. But Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Now a days for the majority, its a celebration to spend time with the family and give the kids some gifts and enjoy some good food. Some people either by lack of "information" or bad intentions, try to invert it.
When people say Christmas is pagan, they're not talking about the birth of Christ. Instead, they're saying the celebration of Christ was merged with other things. Long story short, they're right. You talk about what Christmas was or what Christmas should be. But that does not undo the things attached to Christmas.
In 2000 years, things changed a bit. But I think, the small changes where always done by Christians. Think I've presented my case for that.
Small changes and large changes.
