How many cebrated Xmas with a drunken orgy?

I have been reading often here on R/S the almost unchallenged assertion that Christmas is a steal from the Roman/pagan holiday of Saturnalia. If the holiday is really JUST a steal from Saturnalia, shouldn't the major element of the celebration be "public dissipation"?

    Christians were very good at only stealing the boring elements of other religions.

    And, I like to enjoy most of my orgies without being drunk... I like to remember it and have something to show for it.
