"Christmas" is a compound word originating in the term "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crīstesmæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038 A.D. followed by the word Cristes-messe in 1131 A.D.. Crīst (genitive Crīstes) is from Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ (מָשִׁיחַ), "Messiah", meaning "anointed"; and mæsse is from Latin missa, the celebration of the Eucharist. The form "Christenmas" was also historically used, but is now considered archaic and dialectal; it derives from Middle English Cristenmasse, literally "Christian mass".
Christianity was founded around 7 B.C.
Christmas started over a millennium after Christianity was founded.
Silly kids.

That's great that you can copy and paste Wikipedia and all dude.. But the word may be related to Christianity, the celebration very much has its roots in Roman pre-Christianity times. After which, it was adopted by Christianity (much like everything else that is 'Christian') from pagan festivals. Basically, there was a festival that had been around for a long time and then Christianity slapped a new name on it and called it theirs.

You're talking about Yule (Pagan celebration of the Sun's rebirth). That is not Christmas. Christmas is Christian. You lost, kid. Git gud.

Woah there, I think that fedora is on your head a little too tight.

I'm actually talking about Saturnalia, but think what you think bud.

... which was a (later in history) version of the Yule festival...

Whats funny is Jesus was born in the summer

You're confusing the historical brown skinned, brown eyed Jesus of Nazareth with the fantasy character made up by white, CIS men.
-
What?????
-
Jesus Christ, the historical man, was a Jew born in Bethlehem (Either Jerusalem or Galilee) which is part of Isreal. This means he would have had brownish skin (think Natalie Portman if you're not familiar with Israelis), brown eyes, and curly hair. The current depiction of Jesus Christ is based upon Caesar Borgia (A fair-skinned, Italian man) a Cardinal in the Catholic church about 550 years ago. His father became Pope and hired an artist to create a painting of Jesus in his son's image.

And also he is always depicted as skinny but he was probably kind of muscular because he was a carpenter
-
I know our depictions are wrong but what does that have to do with him being born in the summer
