That would make sense if Christmas bounced around in the way Easter does. It the inconsistency which makes no sense, although that's really no different to the rest of religion.
The explanation is that the Nativity wasn't recorded by those present at the time ... the event wasn't really regarded as important by anyone but 'the family' and I don't think Jesus had a Birth Certificate ... years later the story was handed down by word of mouth so not even the year is recorded, let alone the date, whereas the Romans recorded their public executions.

Technically,we were told no bank holidays off,there were always some folk who managed to wrangle them. What used to then happen,agency staff at shocking rates of pay.
whereas the Romans recorded their public executions.
Okaaay. But as the Romans were good record keepers, the actual date - by their calendar - is known. Therefore Easter should be a fixed date, not related to moon phase. The truth, transparently, is that Christmas is a replacement for the midwinter festival and Easter for the spring planting festival. I mean, eggs and rabbits? What are we, stupid?

“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
Pretty curmudgeoned this morning. Been up since just after 2.30 drying the ruddy kitchen out after a blocked sink (my fault for putting tea leaves down the drain) caused the washing machine and dishwasher to backup and flood the sink unit cupboards, cutlery drawers, floor and soak the rug. All dried out and put back now, except the rug but feeling pretty cheesed off. Wee Uff better not look at me funny today or he's in for it.
Oh flamin echium @Uff … that’s no fun 😭 it’s fear of that sort of thing happening that stops me leaving the washing machine on at night. How did you spot it … what made you look at it in the middle of the night? 🤗 ☕️

I woke at my usual time about 2.30, came through to make a cup of tea and saw the kitchen sink was full of water with fabric conditioner in it. Opened all the drawers and cupboards and everything floating in flipping water. It could very easily have wrecked the units and a new kitchen needed but thank goodness they are Ikea which are very well made and finished despite their price.
We’ll I suppose that’s a blessing at least … not a lot of fun in the middle of the night tho …. I don’t suppose Wee Uff was much help … just an interested onlooker 😉
