Hi contemplating Tom...I think I can answer this question.

For many centuries Pagans and Christianity have ALWAYS seen different views. When Christianity came along they tried to make their own holidays on or near Pagan sabbats in hope to eradicate all Pagan beliefs.

The Winter Solstice. The sabbat of Yule, December 21st, is an important time for the Sun. The Goddess gives brith to the Sun God on this day. The Sun God grows from a son, eventually to a Father, and then into the Sage. Just as the Goddess goes through her cycle of the year from Maiden, Mother , and then Crone. On Decomber 21st and this day forth the days will grow to become longer and soon the Earh will warm up and start the growing season.
Not sure why the article mentioned Decmeber 25th, I'd have to read the article to understand more of what was said in it.

Happy Yule / Winter Solstice

~Autumn
