Original Note:
There isn't any evidence of Christmas being inspired by older pagan celebrations. Most (if not all) sources claiming so are based on 19th century myths invented by pan-german nationalists to pursuit their goal of a German state. https://academic.oup.com/north-carolina-scholarship-online/book/20654/chapter-abstract/179969009?redirectedFrom=fulltext
