The Invincible Sun God, Sol Invictus was the official god of the later Roman Empire. When Constantine was converted to Christianity his invincible sun God became Jesus Christ.
Hence, he declared December 25 as the date of Christmas since the feast of Sol Invictus was December 25.
Constantine also made Sunday of the day of sun as the Sabbath day, hence we go to mass on Suncay.
Indeed it is inconceivable for Jesus to be born on winter otherwise the manger is very unlikely to be the birth place, unless he was actually born in Australia where December happened to be a hot month.
