I think you are confusing it with the pagan celebration of the winter solstice
(Christmas was traditionally celebrated on the day when there was the least
amount of light-- in the northern hemisphere:-)-- as the day when the light
came into the world. Calender changes moved Christmas from the 21st to the
25th). But it is certainly a Christian holy day.

1. Yes, ground covered.
2. You may not be paying attention in the places where Christmas still has
religious meaning.
3. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take that last sentence as a
good-natured troll...
