I've never been able to find the direct proof of this claim. I've also heard a counter argument that Christmas was based on the belief that Christ was conceived on the 25 of March. 9 Months from that date is Christmas, hence why we celebrate the birth of Christ on that day.
Overall I don't take this argument seriously as it seems to only want to disestablish instead of establish anything good to replace it. What would you suggest we do instead on December the 25th? Would you replace the theme of Christ's birth, move it to another day and then have pastors talk about what exactly? What do we stand to benefit from doing away from Christians that we couldn't just benefit by having us focus on the incarnation?
What is so terribly wrong with a day focused on the incarnation?
Also, a lot of people go to church for a Christmas service and hear the Gospel.
