The Saturnalia was Dec 17th to Dec 23rd, Dec 15th was the Bacchanalia, Dionysia in Greece.
Dionysos literally translates to son of god, adopted by the Romans as Bacchus, both were god of wine, and the big trick was changing water into wine (sound familiar)
Herod invented a devise that when filled with water, would pour out wine, thus making he priests of Dionysos look like demigods.

"Christmas" was originally Saturnalia, the Roman Pagan holiday co-opted at the time of Nicea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia
Also the same with Mithra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithra Zoroastrian
