Oh yes it was. Christmas is where it is because of winter solstice. Or do you believe Jesus was born then. It was just a day chosen to celebrate his birthday not the actual day. Then the whole Christmas tree and the list goes on. It is much easier to get people to convert when you can go see we are similar.
The Winter Solstice is on the 21st of December. Christmas is on the 25th of December (actually the 6th of January, if you use the old calendar.)
Christmas trees aren’t pagan, they are German and Jesus’ birth is celebrated 9 months after His conception, which was placed on the 25th of March to roughly line up with His death, as it was believed that Holy men died on the anniversary of their conception.

We don’t know for certain that it wasn’t the actual day. It very well could have been.
