Yep, thought so too. They remind me of a book I read years ago. I cannot remember the name of it, but it basically was an overview of the entire case/evidence of christianity being a rebranding of various pagan stories, traditions, and holidays.
A common point of focus for those (very, very few) of us that are non-Christian historians of Christianity (why should they get to write their own history?). I just picked up another book called Christianity: history of a Pagan Religion or something.
That might be the one I'm thinking of. Most of my comparative religion and philosophy books are boxed up to make shelf space for my genetics & biology books, so I have no clue where the book is.
The more I read of theology research papers, the more I think that most "christian" scholars aren't very religious or are Agnostics/Atheists. There's too much skepticism in these writings, too many questions asked that wouldn't be tolerated in a church.

Well, I know at least a few people who are still celebrating Saturnalia...or at least were on the 21st.
