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
Yeah xians took that idea too. Where do you think of the idea of praying before you eat comes from? Animal sacrifice was used as the feast. Human sacrifice on the other hand helped the crops grow. Which is why the prince kills the king .
