The Christians will be celebrating the birth of Jesus tomorrow. Since his birth date is unknown, December 25th is taken as a symbolic date to signify his birthday. We don't know the exact reason for the selection of the date.
Regardless of the accuracy of date, everyone has pretty much accepted Christmas at the end of the year, unless you are a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, then, Christmas is on January 7.
The safest or the most politically correct way to wish someone is Happy Holidays.
