For Christians, yes. Initially, it was celebrated as the longest night and the turning point for the Sun, making days going up in length again after December 24th. Similarities occur in other religions too. For example, Egyptian god Horus was also born on December 25th, like Jesus. Christmas Eve marks the last day of Winter Solstice, during which for three days Sun sets in the same spot, then begins to move again on December 25th. It is an astronomical date, Christmas is a religious date for Christian people to celebrate birth of Jesus Christ. It is said, he was born on Christmas Eve, then the bright star became visible that moment, to indicate his birth. (This might have a historical connection with a Halley's comet.)
