Jesus was actually born in March.
The Church was attempting to recruit more and more people for its cause, so in an attempt to convert pagans, they corresponded Jesus' birth with the winter festival. In fact, most Christmas traditions are Pagan, including Christmas trees, mistletoe, wreaths, and even the gift giving itself.
Fun fact. Easter was moved to the Spring Fertility Festival... that's why there are bunnies and eggs involved. Bunnies like to mate and Eggs are a universal new life symbol. Neato, right?

Like the other person said Christmas is not in the bible. What the other person got wrong though is yes around the date of December 25 is a pagan holiday the pagans didn't celebrate for Jesus birthday. The church in trying to convert more pagans made most the christian holidays on pagan holidays to make it easy to switch.

The birth of Jesus is in the book Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. Although it is not on December 25, we celebrate it that day because of the Pagen traditions.
There a few books in the New Testaments that portray Jesus' birth.
"Christmas" was not in the Bible, only the birth of Jesus. (I know, it's confusing) Like I said, Christmas is a tradition started by the pagens to celebrate Jesus' birth.
