Is this about China or the UK? I think there are some things you can say in China but not in the UK, provided it doesn’t regard the authorities

- Comment on Where do British Christmas traditions really come from? 6 days ago:
It wasn’t until Constantine that Christians could practice more openly. Also, after Constantine is the first recording of Christmas being celebrated, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t celebrated beforehand. Interestingly enough, our source for that - the Roman almanac in 336 - is older than the earliest source for sol invictus being on the 25th of December in the Chronography of 354. If anything, it could have very well been the pagans changing their dates to compete with Christians, which is what happened in Scandinavia when Yule was moved to the 25th of December to coincide with Christmas.

The Early Christians weren’t keen to imitate the idolatrous romans who were persecuting them at the time. It really is a long stretch.
Despite the evidence in the bible would strongly disagree with a winter birth.
The only reason is that the shepherds were out tending a flock at night. It turns out the temperature in Palestine was actually suitable enough to do this in December, and it was early lambing season. So it’s still a possibility, although emphasis on “possibility”.

A lot of cultures had festivals at a lot of time periods in the year. For example, the Christian harvest festival generally coincides with the Chinese mid-autumn festival.
The general explanation for Christmas is that Jesus was believed to have been conceived on the 25th of March. Either this is due to it being the spring equinox and “the day the world was created” or because it was believed at one point to be the date He died and thus had a cycle of life thing going on.

According to some scholars, the emperor Aurelian instituted in AD 274 the festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (‘birthday of the Invincible Sun’) on 25 December
christianhistoryinstitute.org/…/ff-christmas
Sextus Julius Africanus (160–240), an early third-century Christian historian, is among the first to refer to Jesus’s conception on March 25 and thus, by simple math, his birth nine months later on December 25.

Christmas is a Christian holiday, though. The whole “it was pagan” myth has been largely debunked
