Holy Hodgepodge: Is Christmas Pagan or Christian?

In the second edition of the "Holy Hodgepodge" podcast, Pastor Josh Gremminger and Pastor Jeff Smith discuss the Christmas holiday, and respond to various claims that have arisen that its origins may be pagan and that Christians "stole" the holiday to celebrate Jesus' birth on December 25. 

Is any of that true? Was Jesus really born on Dec. 25? Does it matter? The pastors talk about all of these things, and hopefully this conversation will help you as you interact with other people, maybe even family members, during the Christmas season, so that you can be better-equipped to know what you believe and why.
