It was originally celebrated on that day to get Pagans to convert to Christianity. December 25th had long been a pagan holiday celebrating the Winter Solstice, on which they would eat, drink, and be merry. It was easier for the Christians to get them to convert if they let them keep their fun holiday, so they chose December 25th as the celebration for Jesus’ birthday. References :
