Christmas is based off the Roman holiday Saturnalia, which while officially was seven days of celebration (started with 3) it inofficially went on for two to three weeks.
Nonsense. At its max length Saturnalia ended on the 23rd. Christmas is the 25th with the Christmas season afterward into January (not before). There's an entirely separate tradition of dating Christmas that has nothing to do with Roman holidays, which began when Christianity was much smaller and had no realistic priority of converting Romans en masse. Furthermore, if Christians were trying to supplant Saturnalia, they would have picked Dec 17th.
Regardless, doubtless as Christianity ascended Romans were encouraged to replace and move celebrations to Christmas and some merging of festive practices occurred, but that's very different from based on.!christians
We're arguing about Saturnalia, not the correct or incorrect date of Jesus' birth. Sheesh, it's like you didn't even read my pointless internet sperging.

You're trying to find the origin of the dating of Christmas and you're all wrong because Jesus told us when it was so we would do presents at the right time of the year
No, I'm acknowledging that there's a tradition of looking for the date that goes back very early in Christianity, where discussion generally placed it as Dec 25 (but also as March 25th, from Clement of Alexandria). It's proof the dating is unrelated to Saturnalia.
Whether or not the dating is correct is a completely different discussion

Frick you. Dog walkings great. Excellent way to make side cash and get exercise, and being able to immediately make any dog fall in love with you is a skill I use on a monthly basis.
Clearly you've never held true power. When the dogs at the dog park won't leave your side, no matter how many times their owners call them. When the girl you have a crush on's dog breaks free and makes a break for it, and in seconds its sitting at your feet refusing to budge.
"He normally doesn't like men" she says with a giggle. "I've never seen him so friendly. How'd you learn how to do that"
"I'm a professional dog walker" you say
"Ew.", she replies. "Yeah anyway I've gotta go, come on Cooper".
But Cooper won't budge. Cooper won't even look at her. Cooper only looks at you. Cooper is your dog now.
"Come on Cooper we have to go".
"He only loved you because you fed him" you say.
"What have you done to my dog".
"He's not your dog anymore. Maybe he never was".
"Fix him or I'm calling the cops."
"Since when was getting him fixed a priority white girl"
"What?"
"N.... never mind that's just a reference to a song"
