Yes, pretty much. When Rome fell in 410 AD and Charlemagne accepted the role of protector of the Church the Catholic Church was the only Christan church in Europe. The Catholic Church decided to replace the pagan rituals with Christan ones so they used the days that were all ready celebrated by pagans and made them Christian. Christmas was one of these days. It was the Winter solace for pagans so the Catholic Church made it Christ Mass. Christ Mass was celebrated with 3 masses and a dinner.
