isnt it odd that we celebrate christ's birthday instead of death?

December 25 was a day celebrated by pagans nearly 2000 years Christ was born. The purpose of December 25 was originally intended for celebrating the winter solstice and the rebirth of the warmer season. The Bible doesn't give us an exact date when Christ was born yet we know exactly when He died. Since our death is clearly the most important day of our lives (it's the moment we will be judged and rewarded) why don't we celebrate Christ's death? Not for the death itself but for why He went to calvary and paid the debt of our sins? It wasn't until Christ died that our sins were washed away, right?
