The truth is that Xmas is a myth but Jesus, especially Jesus the Savior, is all too real.
Proving the truth about Xmas is about the easiest myth to research. After doing so may decades ago, I have found the truth about the birth of Jesus to be far more satisfying than the syncretic holiday observed even by secularists.
Just one web page of the many I could refer anyone to:

I’m aware of the pagan origins of Christmas. I too, have done a lot of research on it. Starting this year, I am no longer buying into the secularism. No decorations: tree, mistletoe, lights, etc. My only decoration will be a Nativity Scene.

sorry, Christmas is not a “myth”. Christ was born. That’s a fact. The date may differ but the fact of His birth does not.
There is no "pagan origin of Christmas" -- various activities done in the western world may be co-opted from local cultures such as the yule-tide log and Christmas tree, but that does not mean there is a "pagan origin of Christmas" Christians celebrated the birth of their savior from the beginning, but that was (and IS) not as important in The Church as His one-time sacrifice for us.
Talking about trees etc. forget that ancient Christians in India (converted by St. Thomas the apostle) or in Persia and east (converted by St. Bartholomew) did not have these trappings but still celebrated Christ's birth.
