In fact a lot of the ‘christmas’ stuff which is considered traditional [trees, decorations, big meals] comes from the pagan tradition.
The romans had wild parties [eating, boozing, dancing] to celebrate the days getting longer and the sun’s birthday was 25 december. Long before the Christian church decreed it to be the official date for the celebration of Jesus’s birthday in 440AD [up until then it had alos been celebrated in January and March depending on which sect you were part of]
The word christmas first appears in writing in 1038AD as Cristes Maesse in a saxon book.
In 1519AD the turkey arrived in Europe and was added to the tradition.
In 1541AD Henry VIII banned all games and sports on christmas.
1647AD Cromwell abolished christmas and shops had to open by law. He also banned christmas puddings [the traditional xmas pudding dates back to about 1700s before which a pudding was a special kind of fruity porridge]. It was 1660AD before christmas was allowed again and the parties began again.
Interest in christmas wanes gradually till Charles Dickens writes the Christmas Carol and the victorians get all excited about it again.
That what you were looking for ? 😉

http://www.helium.com/tm/658899/thought-about-where-religiousQuote:The winter solstice occurs at the instant when the Sun‘s position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane as the observer. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the event of the Winter solstice occurs sometime between December 20 and 23 each year in the Northern hemisphere, and between June 20 and 23 in the Southern Hemisphere, and the winter solstice occurs during either the shortest day or the longest night of the year (not to be confused with the darkest day or nights). Though the Winter Solstice lasts an instant, the term is also used to refer to the full day and night (24hrs) within which the event occurs. A more accurate usage might be the “day of the winter solstice” or the “night of/before the winter solstice”.
Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice
