Christmas marks the date of the conception of Christ

Christmas actually marks the Nativity, the Feast of the annunciation in Catholicism marks the Conception of Christ

According to Luke the date of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year of sun light, also coincides with the date of conception. I will go with what Luke says. The birth of Christ would be nearer to the fall equinox.
