Biblical scholars seem to agree that Jesus was probably born in the spring due the the way the shepherds are described as watching their flocks.

Christmas is celebrated during the winter solstice period because so many pagan religions had a holiday at the time. For some centuries after the birth of Christianity there was a lot of competition with various Huwhite pagan religions that are rarely practiced now, so it slowly and tactfully assimilated certain aspects of those religions into itself to make it more easy or appealing to convert to. Everything was fair game as long as said aspects weren't in any way blasphemous or ran odd with the message of Christianity.
