Christmas is celebrated on December 25th because it is believed to be the day that Jesus Christ was born. The date was chosen to coincide with the pagan winter solstice festivals that were already celebrated in many parts of Europe at the time. The name "Christmas" comes from the Old English word "Cristes maesse", which means "Christ's Mass."
