Did Roman rulers oppose Christians because of Christmas?

No. In fact, generally speaking the Roman rulers ignored the Christians. Research indicates that in the nearly four centuries before Emperor Constantine, there were only about twelve years in which the Christians were officially persecuted, and this was because they refused to worship the Roman Gods. Until the fourth century, December 25th (now known as Christmas) was celebrated as the birthday of Sol Invictus, a god formerly known as Mithras. It was only at the time when Christianity was becoming dominant in the Roman Empire that the Church ruled that this day would henceforth be reserved as the day on which the birthday of Jesus would be celebrated.
