Since "Sol Invictus, the Roman sun god" is a mythological figure who never actually existed, he doesn't have an actual "birthday", thus rendering your question somewhat moot.
The most common explanation for why Christmas is when it is is that someone in the early church decided it was better to give people an at least nominally Christian reason to celebrate when their ancestors had been celebrating for hundreds of years than to have them keep honoring some pagan god.
