What are the true origins of Christmas? Something about the pagans?

Some group, I think the Irish but I don’t know, was being converted to Catholicism. Before that, they had a twelve day celebration of the winter solstice. The reason why it was twelve days was because it took that long for them to tell that the sun was turning around and started to climb back to the other side of the horizon. And when they were being converted, he pope decided that they can keep their traditions and that Christmas would fall on the 25, four days after the solstice. That is where we get “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” And That is why we have Halloween. On the 31 or time around it, they had the day of the dead. The pope decided to have all saints day on the 1 st and Halloween comes from hallows’ eve and hallow means saint. The trick or treat comes from people leaving food outside so the spirits stay outside and don’t come in. The costumes come from them sneaking to the bones (where all dead people are put and on one day, the bury all the bones at the same time) in animal skin to trick the spirits.
