The Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday. Christians changed the day to Sunday because it is the day of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead and therefore it is kept holy.
Christmas is a different one. What happened was that many pagans celebrated Saturnalia on this day. The Christians wanted those pagans to become Christians so what they did was allow them to continue to celebrate that day, but it was renamed as Christ’s birthday. It is not really His birthday, but acts more as a symbol of Christ’s birth.
