When Constantine became emperor of Rome, in the fourth century CE, the birthday of the god Mithras was celebrated on December 25th, but there was no celebration of the birth of Christ. Wishing both to encourage Christianity and discourage Mithraism, Constantine had December 25th accepted as the official birthday of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was born in spring (According to The Bible). It is my personal opinion that the Christians stole the idea of Christmas from the pagans because every other religion had a winter holiday. Christmas tree? Pagans. Dec. 25? The pagans.
