Celebration of the winter solstice. The practice of giving gifts stems from a celebration that despite the harsh winter the people have plenty enough to be generous.
It is extremely unlikely that Christ was actually born on Dec. 25, or even in winter for that matter. More likely he was born in the spring.

December 25th is the birthday of Mithra, the Roman God of Light. It was adopted for Christmas to make the transition to Christianity easier.
