Many would be shocked to learn what they're really celebrating each Christmas and Easter!
Yeshua (Jesus isn't a Hebrew word) was born on Tishri 15, 3999.
Why Sukkot? Why 3999 and not 4000?, why do some sources say 3998?
Why the first day of the civil year rather than the first day of the ecclesiastical year?
If they are really Christians then they are really celebrating the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ on those dates. Period. The fact that the dates we use were once pagan holy days is of no import. It the Christian effort to stamp out the pagan gods by supplanting them in the culture. It is similar to moslems building that stinking dome on the site of Solomon’s Temple.
Sukkot as the date is supported by Elizabeth's Zacharias served as a high priest and John would have been born on Pesach. Factor in when Miriam visited her cousin Elizabeth, John (1:14) tells us that Yah'shua was made flesh The word "dwelt" in the Koine Greek is: Eight days after the beginning of Sukkot is Eight days after a Jewish male is born he is circumcised. After the Eighth day comes the the most Joyous day: Nine months back from Sukkot is Chanukah
While I do not condemn the celebration of Christmas,
a clear reading of the Holy Word of G-d would lead to another date.
A date commanded by YHvH with clear Biblical meaning and understanding.
Chanukah is a great time for followers of the Jewish Messiah to celebrate.
The eight day Feast of Chanukah echoes of the eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles
Chanukah was most likely when the "light of the world"
(John 8:12) entered human form and tabernacled among us.
Feast of Tabernacles is the birth day of Yah'shua.
This question is answered when you believe and trust
the Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1.

where we live in temporary shelters.
Sukkot is when YHvH took on a temporary
garment to be with His People
and to die as the Lamb of G-d on Pesach
in order to bring salvation to all
who would call on His Name:

The time sequence is outlined by the
Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1 with Zacharias.
based on his tribe, we know when he served
(1 Chronicles 24:7-18) and when he was
struck dumb and when John was conceived.
Most Jews believed that Elijah
would come at Pesach to announce
the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5).
Elizabeth was six months pregnant (Luke 1:26)
Thus the timing of Yah'shua's birth can be ascertained.

I just went to www.hebcal.com and did a conversion to Gregorian for 15 Tishri. It’s October 1st...or at least, it is THIS year.
Sure it is. It's an obvious transliteration. The "J" is a "Y" sound in many languages, especially the germanic ones. In others it is an "i-e" dipthong that has a "y" sound.
So we have: "yeh" "shoe" in hebrew and we have "yeh" "zoo" as a transliterate attempt to mimic the sound. With the "jay" pronunciation of "j" in English and the "ee" instead of "ei", you get "Jee" "zuz" from an earlier obvious "yeh-zoo".
The good news for messianics is that there was an effort to be faithful to the "yeshua" name as evangelism spread to other nations.
I believe I've read in your earlier posts that you believe Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Observant Jews were required to participate in this festival. From what I've read, the Gospels make no mention of Mary and Joseph attempting to celebrate Sukkot while on their way to Bethlehem to take part in Herod's census.
