Thomas J. Talley, "The Day of His Coming", a discussion about the origins of the feast of Christmas which appears in The Origins of the Liturgical Year (Pueblo Books, Liturgical Press, Collegeville: 1986 and 1991), Part Two, sections 1 through 6 (pp. 79-103). Shows that there is little evidence for the popularly held assumption that Christmas was instituted to counter the pagan Saturnalia.
