It's actually not a pagan holiday.
One of the pagan Roman emperors adopted the Dec25 date because Christians that were former hebrews had started celebrating Hanukkah on a fixed day on the Julian Calendar, which landed on Dec25.
Jesus was supposedly conceived on March25. March25 + 9mo = Dec25. Which is where Christian's got jesus's birthday from.
It's a whole thing if you want to look into it. Both Pagan and christian symbolism are predated in cuneiform writings, so I don't really give a fuck.
Humanity is way older than 5,500 years, and the ancient tribes all over the Globe worshipped the Sun and Stars thousands of years before Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform writings even existed.
Here's some evidence from the people of the Indigenous Zuni Pueblo nation in western New Mexico. https://youtu.be/g5C0qQMsiBY?t=2130
