  7.  @jLL-r9s  Christianity has always combined with traditions from other cultures. yes. However saying "pagan culture" is incredibly vague, because there was no "pagan culture", just the culture of the specific areas that Christianity integrated into. It wasn't a monolith. The actual historicity of whether Christmas and Halloween were pagan traditions or actually sprung from Christianity is very much still a matter of debate which people act far too certain of one way or another when there's actually very little information. Usually those saying it's totally 100% a pagan holiday are often contrarian know-it-alls who aren't furthering knowledge but rather looking for cheap "gotcha" reactions. It's not that crazy to have European Christians come to the same conclusions about the best time to celebrate the birth of Christ: during winter, not to mention the cosmic symbiology and significance of the story that relates it to winter as the real reason December 25th was chosen. It's a lot more in depth than just yoinking a pagan holiday and plastering baby jesus over it as so many treat it in pithy online comments. And to illustrate the point about how little people actually know about these "pagan traditions", mistle toe having such significance at Christmas as we know it is a modern addition to the holiday from 18th century England, though it did have different meanings to different cultures before then generally related to fertility. But mistloetoe being significant wouldn't be unique to "pagan" beliefs anyway, because it's literally one of the few green plants that flower in winter. That ties in very easily on a symbolic level to Christianity, of a green plant flowering in the dead of winter. Lastly, we have no idea when exactly Jesus was born. Historians literally have a 2-year gap as to when it may have happened, let alone which exact season or month.
