Most northern cultures recognised the middle of winter in some way and held a festival. Western European tradition is closely linked to the Scandinavian Yule festival and the German tradition of tree-worship.
The ancient Romans celebrated the Winter Solstice on this day in honor of the "Unconqured Sun". In addition, a very popular Mystery Cult devoted to the Persian god Mithras also honored him that day.
Further to the above... Yule is celebrated at the Winter Solstice, on or about the 21/22 of December. The Roman celebration of the Invincible Sun was held at approximately the same time (variation occur because the ancient Romans did not use the Gregorian calendar).
December 25 was the birthdate of Mithra, a Pagan God worshipped in the religion of Mithraism.
