life is good

An ancient Iranian festival that basically celebrates the coming of the winter solstice and the longest night of the year for centuries is "Yalda Night".
 Some pieces of evidence show that Christmas might be originated from the Iranian Yalda night celebration. Accordingly, charismas and Yalda have common symbols such as decorated tree and the star above it (which do not exist in Yalda anymore), reddish theme, etc.
Even Santa Claus appears in the clothes and hats of the religious leaders of Zoroastrian.
