I thought the numerical mismatch was from the Romans inserting July and August into the middle of the year.
Why did the end of the year get moved back? Christmas, I guess.

December 25 is the day the sun rises from it's lowest point of the year. 22,23,24 after it dies and then remains low.
12 works better with Astrotheology.
12 disciples...
12 astrology signs.

Isn't that Dec 21?

December 21 is the winter solstice, but the Sun's position, aka Horus, dies and remains in a very low horizon for about 3 days, then on the 25th he is born again.
Also other Astrotheology myths associated but we get Hour and Horizon from Horus.
In Spanish ¿Qué Hora es?
Literally, Where is Horus? Or What hour is it? More appropriate is where it's the Sun.

That's what I thought too.

Yes December 21 and 22 is the winter solstice and shortest day of the year depending on orbital eccentricity and axial tilt.

Correct over 50,000 years things have changed but man has tracked the great year 28,000 years twice in petroglyphs and cave paintings.
Basically within 10,000 years it was noticed that the Sun was in the lowest point in the northern hemisphere for 3 days. On the 25th the Sun was born to the new year and it began it's ascent into the sky.

By definition February means the end burning and it's the precursor to spring equinox. Janus, aka January is the two headed pass of the old year to the new year coming.
