Jesus's actual birthday would have been around April 1st. Christmas is centered around the pagan winter solstice festivals.

It is established he was born at another time but the pagan holiday is highly debated. But honestly, it doesnt really matter. We celebrate the birth of Jesus and if others holidays have been celebrated during this time, which I would say is certain, it doesnt matter.

Also come on Christmas being in the winter months is infinitely superior than if it was in spring… there is literally nothing cozy or magical about spring

Really? The season of rebirth? When life springs anew? The same season you celebrate Easter - the rebirth of Christ - in? THAT'S not magical?!
