Christmas is a holiday started by a Christian and former pagan. Emperor Constantine used December 25 as Christmas to offset the pagan holiday of Solace. The early evidence shows that it wasn't until the late 2nd Century that people started trying to figure out what date Jesus was born. By 336 AD, the emperor Constantine established December 25 as the date Christians celebrate Christ's birth. He didn't choose a random date. Christians had discussed various dates for this celebration, and December 25 must have become an established precedent for quite some time beforehand. Constantine often chose the most widely attested viewpoint since it would receive the most minor controversy. Andrew McGowan's article "How December 25 Became Christmas" is excellent and helpful for a deeper dive into this question. Most, if not all, traditions of current-day Christmas traditions come from England and Germany. The Traditions are based on the writings of Charles Dickens. Americans, as always, take things bigger. More presents more extensive light displays. But that is the American tradition part of Christmas. Read a book, and you will know the real truth Satan is telling these people. It is a Pagan holiday. Do not fall for Satan's lies.
It is modern tradition to support Jesus' birth and celebrate Him on Dec 25.
It doesn't matter the actual date of Jesus' birth as long as we celebrate Jesus ...and everything is setup to do it on Dec 25
No, we are not celebrating pagans but we are ignoring them and covering their solstice with worship of Jesus and celebrating His birth at this time .
We have sometimes because of distractions or convenience celebrated my birthday or my kids birthday on days after or before when we all can make time. Christmas is no different.

That might be historically correct and all, but Pagans have nothing to do with Satan.
There is only God or satan, Jesus said we either love one or the other.
