Well Christ was born probably nearer to Easter and Christmas is more of a marketing ploy than it is about Christ so he may be right in that regard.
In traditional Catholicism, what the secular world has come to accept as the “Christmas season” isn’t really a festive season at all. Christmas Day is the FIRST day of a Christmas season that doesn’t officially end until February 2nd, not the culmination of a month-long buying spree that has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.

Exactly when Christ Jesus was born I don’t know, but of the rest of your comment, I can say, sadly, that you are correct, speaking about the cultural sense, in the secular world, but this is not the fault of Christ Jesus, nor His Holy Mother Church, nor the faithful in her, so we all together sojourn on, in season and out of season.
