Generally, I liked your answer but I think one thing might be a little off...

dozens of different religious traditions have festivals of lights near the winter solstice, to celebrate the return of longer days.

The date of Ramadan is dictated by the lunar cycle. As far as I can remember, there were times when we celebrated in the winter and times when it was in the summer. IDK Maybe I'm wrong, though.
