video 1: Dr Sahib believes in celebrating mawlid of all prophets, this is the mawlid of Jesus Christ (PBUH)

Ignoring any issues of the permissibility of celebrating any Mawlid:

'Isa ibn Maryam was not born in December. December 25th was chosen as a date for "Christmas" due to the fact that numerous pagan tribes held winter solstice holidays (Yule, Saturnalia, Modraniht, etc.) around that same time every year. The Christians decided to make Christmas around this same time to get them to stop celebrating their pagan holidays, because these people had become Christian in name, but not in spirit, and they usually continued to practice their old religions when they could get away with it.
