few pagan holidays are now because the church throughout history has been the task of fighting them in different ways.
Some were banned and many other Christianized. Much of the parties, called Christians, have a pagan background, such as the celebration of Christmas. Materialism, today and increasingly, around the celebration, we prosecutes in the superficial, mundane and material.
In celebration of Christmas shops have record sales of alcohol, drug use increases and people are focused on fun. Therefore, without biblical justification or at least opportunistic biblical justification, the pagan is determined by the clergy and the Puritans. So the more original Christianity is not as important for the church and may be sacrificed to steal a space for everything that is not Christian.
Eutrapelia: vision of holy joy in front of the carnival.
The carnival that precedes Lent explains the "eutrapelia" the average just enjoyment, thoroughly healthy fun. To be kept clear mind and heart in search of a healthy and successful recreation fun. The eutrapelia corresponds to the virtue that lies in the mean between the relaxed and playful excessive seriousness.
