Christmas began in the fourth century when church officials chose to honor the birth of Jesus but several customs we've come to associate with the holiday actually evolved from ancient Pagan traditions celebrating the winter solstice. Historian Kenneth C. Davis is the best-selling author of the Don't Know Much About series. He joins “CBS This Morning” to break down the unexpected origins of some of our most well-known Christmas traditions. • Watch CBS This Morning HERE: http://bit.ly/1T88yAR • Download the CBS News app on iOS HERE: https://apple.co/1tRNnUy • Download the CBS News app on Android HERE: https://bit.ly/1IcphuX • Like CBS This Morning on Facebook HERE: http://on.fb.me/1LhtdvI • Follow CBS This Morning on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Xj5W3p • Follow CBS This Morning on Instagram HERE: http://bit.ly/1Q7NGnY • Get new episodes of shows you love across devices the next day, stream local news live, and watch full seasons of CBS fan favorites anytime, anywhere with CBS All Access.
