There was a time, long ago when there were more pagans than Christians. The Christians needed a way to try and convert the pagans. So, they took the Pagan holiday of Yule (Dec. 21st) and told everyone that Jesus was born on Dec. 24th and that they needed to celebrate it.

Yule was quickly buried under the rising holiday, Christmas. Yule Tide greetings is from the pagan tradition. As well as decorating a tree and such. These symbols were adopted by Christians and incorporated into the Christmas holiday they created. As far as I know, Jesus wasn't born in Dec.
Yeah i believe that Jesus was actually born in September...
