Christians simply hijacked the 25th from its pagan origins.
(There's a line of thought, it's cropped up now and again, that the holy can -by their piety- make something "holy". The coopting of a variety of parties/holidays, in some part, was supposed to steal the wind from the sails of paganism in that early struggle for hearts and minds. Didn't work out, in the end, but for a time it seemed to be working.)
