Because it was the day He sacrificed himself and opened the gates of Heaven for humanity

Yes. Jesus’ sacrifice means that heaven is attainable for all. This does not mean that all will go to heaven but it means everyone is born with the opportunity

No he wasn’t? December 25th was selected to pander to pagans Christ was famously recorded and considered to be born in the spring (y’know like a spring lamb) up until the 4th century when the switch to align with the Roman saturnalia and the pagan Yule both being around the winter solstice on the week of Dec 20-23rd. It’s a random ass day people 1700 years ago agreed we’d celebrate as though it’s Christ’s birthday despite us not even actually knowing the specific day

Actually pretty much all Christmas traditions come from Yule and Saturnalia like the tree and gift giving and the drinking and merriment like all of it.
