Reason to doubt that Christmas has a pagan origin.

The notion is false that early Christians appropriated an existing pagan holiday celebrated in December in order to invent Christmas, evidence indicates. The web log Disturber of the Peace and a Touchstone magazine article concur that the reverse is true. The December pagan holiday began as a way to appropriate the already existing, already popular Christian holiday in celebration of Jesus’s birth, that is, Christmas. (*) (†) In other words, Christmas does not have pagan roots.

    Do you have any source material to support the idea that Pagans copied the Christian Christmas?
