I'm not going to remember enough details, but I recall reading somewhere that some "Early Christian Scholars" decided at one point that Jesus must have been both conceived and killed on the same day of "Easter" (not even touching the origins of that name here) for....reasons. Add 9 months to a Spring conception and you end up with a birthday around the Winter Solstice. See? It All Makes Sense Like It Should.
