Well, they're also right that the historical figure that the biblical Jesus is based on was almost certainly not born in the winter. The holiday seems to have been moved there to be close to the winter soltice holidays to encourage conversion. A Pope apparently pulled the date out of his ass about three centuries after the guy died.
