No one truly knows the exact date of Christ's birth however, as the early leaders of a Christian religion trying to convert the Pagans, combining winter celebrations seemed to be a good concession in enticing new church members.
Through the centuries the words of Yuletide season somehow transformed into the 12 days of Christmas. (Christmas through the Epiphany) One Christian holiday to another .... so in essence it is the celebration of 2 holidays. Now, point that out if you come across one of "those"!
In some Northern European cultures the season lasted for months so Happy Yuletide season .... and keep that holiday feeling as long as you want!
