It is then argued that customs are perfectly appropriable by those who give it a new meaning, but then the question lies on whether partaking in any of this is worthwhile or if it rather becomes a detriment as is sometimes observed, and should one feel too passionate for it.
For the traditionalists it might not be so hard to follow another tradition unquestionably as it is to justify yet another tradition of vague origins to skeptics.

And the pagan feast which the Emperor Aurelian instituted on that date in the year 274 was not only an effort to use the winter solstice to make a political statement, but also almost certainly an attempt to give a pagan significance to a date already of importance to Roman Christians. The Christians, in turn, could at a later date re-appropriate the pagan “Birth of the Unconquered Sun” to refer, on the occasion of the birth of Christ, to the rising of the “Sun of Salvation” or the “Sun of Justice.”
