Original Note:
Although there were mid-winter celebrations in religions outside Christianity during the time of the early Church there’s no evidence Christmas was celebrated in December to appease pagans. The current timing of the Christmas season came about in the 4th century AD. https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/refuting-the-pagan-roots-of-christmas-claim
