The birth of Christ is known NOT to have been in the winter, but rather in summer. The reason for Xmas during the time of the winter solstice was for the church to attempt conversion of pagans who celebrated Saturnalia and thus created this “Christian” holiday of Jesus’ birth in December. It’s why there are images of evergreens and logs in the fire juxtaposed against the nativity images. Remnants of the pagan celebration.
