In fairness, most Christmas traditions are somewhat Pagan influenced.

Which is odd, because he effectively banned all the fun things about Christmas... Like singing and getting merry. He didn't ban going to church (though no special services!) or quietly reading the Bible on the day.

The timing of Christmas has more to do with placacting the Roman general public after Constantine's conversion. For example.
