You do know that Jesus was not actually born on Dec 25th, right? Christmas is celebrated on the 25th because the Xtians wanted to oust the Yule and Winter Solstice celebrations.

Quote:
Although Christian feasts related to the Nativity have had specific dates (e.g. December 25 for Christmas) there is no historical evidence for the exact day or month of the birth of Jesus.[76][77][78]
So, in fairness, there is a 1/365 chance that it IS the 25th.... why not just celebrate his birth EVERY Day?
