If I remember right (and there is nothing to say that I have much memory cells left at all), modern theologians believe, through historical records, that Jesus was born in early September. As for celebrating other solstices/equinii, Easter is a celebration of the spring equinox.

Basically what happened is that they used to have these pagan holidays, but the Christians felt the need to control everything, so they added "Christian Relevance" to pagan festivals to attempt to convert the heathens.
