How is it a red herring? If God wanted us to celebrate the birth of Jesus..he would have given us a date, don’t ya think? But that’s not why God sent His Son so we could set up trees and decorate them to celebrate the birth of His Son when we don’t really know the exact day.
Not only that we would have seen christmas being celebrated by them as well...Jesus would have talked about His birthday celebrations but no...He talked about the Father and His death and his followers sharing the Good News. That’s what was meaningful with His coming..

Philippians 2:5-8
Have this attitude in yourself which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
