I do not celebrate christmas nor easter, because of the same reasons.
Ps. I'm not Catholic, but i am Christian.

Could you please explain how it is wrong? There are plenty of reasons why these holidays are when they are. We don't know the exact date of Christ's birth nor death, so we can choose any day of the year to celebrate them. It isn'the important that he was born/risen on that specific day, but rather that he was born and risen. For that reason the early Church recognized that we should place the holidays where they ar for a few reasons, for instance; Christmas is where it is because it is during the winter solstice, which the Church wanted to show how when Jesus entered the world, hair light shown in the world, modeled by how during the solstice the days start to get longer. Also, during this week there were pagan festivals, and making the holiday where it is helped concert millions of people.

For Easter, the Church recognized how more and more life was coming about during the spring, showing how Jesus' sacrifice gives us life and meaning. Similar to Christmas, it took place during a pagan festival to help convert people.

During all of these holidays we don't celebrate the pagan roots, we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Tl;Dr: The dates were chosen to coincide with natural forced with metaphorical meaning as well as a tool that was utilized to convert thousands of people.
