Wiccans celebrate the solstice. And historicaly the Romans celebraited a couple religous holidays this time of year, one celebrating Saturn (I think) and in the Mystrey Cult of Mithras the day celebrated as the birth day of Mithras was Dec. 25 (Mithrasism was one of Christianities earliest rivals, and the corelation of holidays is most likely not a coincidence).
