The oldest records of Christmas are from 336 AD. At least that's the oldest record of a Christian celebration of Jesus' birth. A modern person probably would not have recognized the modern day version of Christmas from those Roman celebrations, however, since they were derived from the existing Roman festival of Saturnalia.
The modern traditions of Christmas incorporate traditions from the German festival of Yule (hence why things like "Yuletide" and the Yule log are still used). It's hard to know how old Yule is, however, because it was already old by the time anybody wrote about it.
What you would recognize as Christmas today probably didn't exist until later in the 9th century. It may be a disappointing answer, but there probably never was a "first" Christmas. Solstice celebrations are old, much older than the written word and probably older than any religion of civilization of which we have records. Cultural norms change over time. It took many generations of Romans for Saturnalia to become what it was, many generations of Germans for Yule to become what it was, and many generations of cultural overlap and cultural drift for Saturnalia, Yule, and Christmas to collectively become what we have now. It may not feel like it, but traditions are still changing even now. A Christmas from 1920 would have felt very different from one in 2020, and 2120 will bring still more changes.
