It's obvious when you think about it that "Christmas" must be at least as old as agriculture.
Within the last few decades it's been pretty well established that most prehistoric monuments are aligned on the Winter Solstice, but I think this evidence from Durrington Walls may be the first from the period that links calendrical observance with feasting.
