I’m french and I have always been told that our Gaullish ancestors had festivities going on at that date already and the roman empire made sure to destroy our culture and traditions by replacing our celebrations. They also built churches on the exact same spots as our previous cult places. Like, they even built a new city (Tours) from scratch to make Amboise become irrelevant. Christmas was part of the violence inflicted to our ancestors

That’s the only correct answer. Just use the existing celebration dates, and remove the old religion.
Why on earth doesn’t modern Christians question the Eastern celebration, which follows the moon-calendar?
