"Just a factual iota that the celebration is not Christian in its origins."

It it is a fact that Christmmas was moved to December to make it easier to Christianize pagans who had midwinter celebrations, that in no way changes the Christian origin of Christmas.

All that means is that pagans had midwinter ceremonies, and now we celebrate Christmas at the same season.
