I couldn't figure out how to reply on blogspot but I don't see much difference between solstice and christmas from your explanation.
They're both about rebirth no? doesn't jesus do for you what getting another year (free of charge) does for a pagan, give you a second chance, a world of new opportunities?
If there's no solstice, then the world is forever plunged in darkness and cold and the makers of sunblock would be bankrupt. If there's no jesus than your soul is forever plunged into darkness and the sunblock makers make a fortune in hell.
The only tangible difference there is that one deals with something that actually happens and we can make of it what we will and the other deals with something that may have happened.
And of course when I say may have happened I mean the birth of an actual guy named Jesus not the supernatural stuff.
