Romans were pagans and did not celebrate Christmas, which celebrates the birth of Christ. However, they did celebrate Saturnalia, a winter solstice pagan festival that celebrated on December 25. Christians borrowed heavily from the celebration of the festival, which included gift exchanges, festive foods, and decorated trees.

The Romans only celebrated Easter when they became Christian. Easter is a Christian holiday, commemorating the risen Christ.

Ancient Romans celebrated many Gods. Only when a minority of Romans became Christians would Christmas be celebrated. Eventually, Christianity became the official religion of the masses.
