In fact a lot of Christian Ritual may have been taken from the worship of Mithras, given that he predated the Christ Figure by 500 years or more.

Maybe you are all actually Mithras worshippers and just don't know it? Names change . . .

Isn't Zorastrainism a monothesistic religion? So don't they have just one "God"?
Besides, allusions to Mithraism are great - but strcitly speaking the Christmas tradition draws more on Anglo-Saxan and Germanic tradtions more than anything... because afterall Christmas isn't the time to be bathed in the blood of a sacrificed bull suspended over the congregation
