"For how many years shall this festival abide! Never shall age destroy so holy a day! While the hills of Latium remain and father Tiber, while thy Rome stands and the Capitol thou hast restored to the world, it shall continue."
I would say so, judging from the spreading of its modern incarnation, Christmas, even within my own lifetime. Did Christianity co-opt Saturnalia, or did Saturnalia co-opt Christianity? Sometimes it's really hard to tell. :)
Be of good cheer--it's the most wonderful time of the year!
