She leaves out one name. I was shocked with one she provided.

Exactly Christmas is a pagan holiday. It’s David’s celebration of the sun. Day doesn’t really matter though.
And even if you’re not religious we’re celebrating the birth of the most influential person ever who transformed the entire globe and shaped all of modern society. Religious or not Jesus had a huge impact on the entire world
I would encourage you to check out Dr. Michael S. Heiser's The Naked Bible Podcast episode 195 for a scholarly refutation presented for the layman of Christmas being based upon a pagan holiday. Even the December date, though incorrect, was based on Judeo-Christian belief that prophets died on the day they were born or conceived. They reasoned that if Jesus was crucified at Passover, He must have been conceived around what in our calendar would have been the end of March or beginning of April, hence born in December. Calendars have changed over the centuries, complicating matters, but that's the origin of December 25. Now, have pagan elements been infused into the Christian celebration of Christ's birth? Absolutely. But its origins were from faithful Christians.
Go onto Stellarium, dial back to 9-11-03 BC at Bethlehem and study the stars.
Or 04 BC, or 02 BC, have a go.
Better to read "Jesus Christ our promised seed" by Dr. V.p. weirwille.
It clearly shows Sept 11 3b.c. and using computers to generate planetary alignments for that period show the triple conjuction that happened and the date it occurred on.
I've lived in the middle east and observed after October all sheep are brought out of the fields to the keep. It's freezing cold there in winter. The pagan holiday was saturnalia. Many other proofs also.
