There is no real proof that Jesus was born in April. Many point to the shepherds in the field that is inconclusive as shepherds can be in the field whenever they like.

They took a pagan holiday and gave it christian meaning. They redeemed it and made it christian.
Because the Angel of the Lord told them - in Luke 2 10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
