No, thats a modern lie created by (((You Know Who))) to discredit Christianity and spread by ignorant protestants who think the Church is Pagan.

Saturnalia was mid December, whereas Christmas has generally been near the end. Most cultures have gift-giving festivities near the end of the year, and many Christian cultures give gifts on St. Nicholas' day (which is december 6th and well before Saturnalia). Its mainly the anglo countries giving gifts during Christmas day, which might be where the myth that Saturnalia was replaced with Christmas came from (which again doesnt even make sense, because Christmas is at the end of December and Saturnalia is between St. Nicholas' day and Christmas day.

I had older ''online friends'' from Europe who had ( small ) gifts on December 6th as kids for Saint Nicholas day, before American influence made most people push the date to December 25th.

Here ( Quebec ) the tradition is/was going to Christmas Eve's mass at, or a bit before midnight, for the habitual story-telling of Jesus Christ's birth, with relevant decorations and songs.

Then famity gathering with a traditional meal, alchool, music, dance. Gifts either after midnight, or the next morning with the nuclear family.

Being from a small town, I got to experience it all before things went to shit.
