I believe that Christmas and Easter have astrological origins. Even before the major religions, people needed to understand solar cycles, primarily for agriculture. Long before big religions, people needed to know this for farming. It's like a memory trick, and we still use these kinds of tricks in schools today. I'm not saying religions are all fake, they're about more than just their founder's story. The power of a crowd is insane!
Santa Claus is a different story, but I think this is related to the Three Wise Men. Spaniards get their Christmas presents on Three Kings' Day (January 6th), which makes total sense.

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your thoughts and the resource. I like thinking about things in how it relates to astrology.
