'Who's idea was it to have 圣诞节 in winter?' Umm...Jesus?! He was born on 25th Dec. I was also with a cold two days ago, still recovering, yesterday I couldn't sleep at all but , so far, so good!
It is in the winter because 圣诞节 is a very old tradition. It was known as Yule. They used to celebrate 圣诞节 to bring back the light in the dark short and cold day's.
It has nothing to do with 耶稣 at all. It is a very old Germanic/Celtic tradition. It has to be in the winter because then the day's are the shortest.
