No, there is no link between sun worship and Christianity. The only association comes from some who try to dismiss the religion's validity by discrediting it. December 25th was chosen when Christianity was already established in order to replace a pagan festival of the sun with a Christian one, based on mistaken calculations for Jesus's birth. No Christian worships a pagan sun god whether knowingly or unknowingly. They do, however, worship the Son of God.
