you are absolutely right that December 25 was not Jesus Christ's birthday. minimal research proves that this date was chosen centuries after his death for various other reasons.\n\nyou are also right about Christmas being totally commercialized. If you ask the average young child about Christmas all they can tell you about is Santa Clause and what presents they want.\n\nThe bottom line is the Bible doesn't give us the exact date so we don't know when it was.\n\ncheck these articles for some more info.\n\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1998/12/15/article_01.htm\n(Has Christmas Lost Christ?)\n\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1998/12/15/article_02.htm\n(Jesus' Birth—The Real Story)\n\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2000/12/15/article_01.htm\n(Christmas Customs—Are They Christian?)

The only reason Christmas is put on December 25th was to replace a popular Roman Pagan holiday. A lot of the customs of that holiday remains today. Most scholors believe Jesus was born in springtime, due to the passage of the shephards, but there is no evidence besides that.

It's not wrong, but after January 6th (tomorrow) it's officially goofy. Technically Jan 6th is the last day of the 12 days of Xmas.\nDon't worry because I still have my tree up (it's fake though). We love our tree. Also we're the only house in our neighborhood that still has xmas lights on. :)\nHappy "Three Kings Day".

The true meaning of Christmas is to buy as much as you can and go into debt for at least 6 months of the year buying presents for people.\nIf Christmas was supposed to be for Jesus then why was his b-day changed to December? I would never change the b-day of one of my children, or someone I held in high reguards....

Your maths may be a bit out - but otherwise, yes it's true.\n\nHe was 33 1/2 when KILLED on Nisan 14th (end March / start April) so was born end October or very start of November.\n\nChristmas as we know it is from the Roman festival of Saturnalia (return of the sun god) celebrated on Dec 25th. It was amagamated into the 'christain' calendar by Emperor Constantine to 'unite' his peoples - bringing pagan & early roman catholocism together.\nThe true christians of the first century did NOT celebrate Christs birth - only a memorial of his death.\n\nToday - it holds no significance in any religious field - simply a time to get drunk, eat too much & fall out with the relatives...but those who object to the roots of the celebration hold firm their convictions.

Caesar Constantine declared December 25th a Christian holiday in honour of the Roman god Saturn. It is absolutely nothing whatever to do with the birth of Christ. Christ was most likely born in September or October around 4 BC. Christ himself declared all festivals other than Easter as pagan. Jules Lecturer Australia.

Note: ECCLES.7:1 = "A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth."\n\nCHRISTMAS\nChristmas isn't Jesus's birthdate; it was the birthday of the sun god. Scripture doesn't mention Jesus's birthdate or any christians celebrating His Birthday. The only birthday mentioned besides Pharoah is the heathen king Herod. "Christmas" means "mass of Christ"; the celebration coexisted in Rome before there was any in Jerusalem. The early Roman Church however did establish a pagan festival that (Jer.10) coexisted with Jesus's Birth and that was the birthday of the sun god. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., article: "Christmas"). The Catholic sources admit that Christmas didn't co-exist with the earliest festivals. Jesus wasn't born Christmas; even scripture makes this evident. "On the night of Jesus's birth, the shepherd's were still keeping watch over their flocks." (Luke 2:8). The rainy season in Ancient Israel began after the Feast of Tabernacles which generally is early October. In November, it would be cool and wet; the flocks from the pasture had already been brought and kept in winter quarters by the shepherds. This tells us the shepherds were no longer in the fields at night. Another peice of evidence is overlooked is in Luke 1:35-36; it tells us John the Baptist was born to Mary's cousin Elizabeth six months before Jesus. And as we look further in verse 5-17, we see Zacharias an elderly priest burning incense on the altar and then an angel appearing to him and telling him that he and his wife would have a son to prepare Christ's Way. We know however when this announcement was made by the angel because of Zacharias was "of the course of Abijah" Please look at 1Chron.24:1-19; it tells us that King David divided these priests into 24 "courses" that served in the temple by rotation. The Course of Abijah would be the 8th of the 24 courses which usually would occur around the end of May. Pentecost came the week after the 8th course served and he had to serve all 24 courses during the three festival seasons. So Zacharias came home approximately after the first week of June; in which John the Baptist was conceived around mid-June and 9 months later would be his birth. John Baptist's birth came around mid-March while Jesus's was around mid-September. Also notice every year people claim 3 wise men seen Jesus in a stable; is this really true? The Bible nowhere states "3 wise men" or "that the wise men visited Jesus in a stable". Read for yourself: (Matt.2:11); these Magi came from the east beyond the Euphrates River which in the 1st century was called the Parthian Empire (the eastern border of the Roman Empire). Several weeks after Jesus's birth, the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, the king's palace searching for Jesus. The "star" in the east led them to take their trip to Judea. After hearing about the timing of the "star's appearance" from the Magi; King Herod ordered the slaughter of all children two years and younger(Matt.2:16). When Jesus was 40 days old: His parents presented him in the temple (Luke 2:22)(Lev.12:2-4). After the Magi came, the family fled to Egypt. {Jesus six weeks old.}\nWHEN WAS JESUS'S BIRTH?\nhttp://www.lcg.org/cgi-bin/tw/magazine/tw-mag.cgi?category=Magazine33&item=1104261794\nhttp://family.webshots.com/photo/1342393463049373547FazWzQ\n****************************************************************\nHow Christmas came about.

Well I am a muslim, I have christian relatives.. Id say it all depends on your beliefs.. If you take Christmas for what it is.. celebrating Jesus's birthday and not anything to do with Santa and the north pole, and snow etc... Then summer might be closer to the real birthdate.. I mean. Jesus was probably born more towards the summer months anyways.. It was in the middle east, during the time when the lambs are born, thats in late spring or early fall.. (maybe summer)..
