In early Christianity in the Roman Empire, there were many other religions competing with Christianity. To increase the appeal of Christianity, they fused many non-Christian festivals with a Christian overlay. For example, Christmas is the festival for the winter solstice. Since the roots of much of our celebration of Christmas are outside Christianity, some Christians choose not to celebrate the holiday.
