            Supposedly in the summer due to something about the stars. Xmas was supposed to be cultural approtiates of the winter solstice or something. I’m sure someone will add to this.

              On a serious note, yes Christmas was placed where it was in order to coincide with Saturnalia, the Roman winter solstice festival. This was an attempt by Constantine, the emperor who legalized Christianity in Rome, to transition the Romans to Christianity more easily.
