Sven Longshanks, TruthVids and PatriArt look at where our Christmas traditions come from.
There are elements in Christmas today that go all the way back to Roman times and before, such as gift giving and caring for those less well off in society.
Christmas trees in their form today go back to the Protestants and Martin Luther, but honouring an individual tree likely goes back to the tree of life, while groves are associated with goddess worship.
Yule is just the name for the tide or month and Father Christmas is a uniquely British tradition.
