The Bible doesn't actually state when Jesus was born. Best guess by scholars is sometime in the late Summer or Fall. The Church didn't even have a celebration of Christ's birth until some 300 years later. However, as Christianity spread out into the pagan world, the Christmas season was chosen to coincide with the pagan winter festival, Saturnalia, and offer a Christian alternative to older celebrations. Thus, Dec 25th was established as the day we celebrate Christ's birth.

it somewhat is the Memorial that replaced into asked to be venerated, no longer even absolutely everyone's birthday. Birthday celebrations are a pagan custom. i've got seen many nonsense solutions here. faith is sweet while no longer blind like no longer with the flexibility to distinguish the social gathering of beginning and a birthday. those people choose for some logic and subject-loose experience. to transform pagans and non-believers, the church mixed Jesus' birthday with the Saturnalia. a reliable plot to have blinded people as much as this very day. sparkling skies!

I have no idea when Jesus' birthday is, we don't even know the exact year of His birth. We know that Herod the Great was still king, and Herod died in 4 BC.
Some sources say that Herod the Great may have died as late as 1 BC.
Israeli Jews that I have talked to have said that there is no problem with shepherd's tending their flock in December in Israel.
However, I have just looked at Jerusalem weather and today shows a low of 38 and a high of 51 and partial sun.

We celebrate Jesus' birthday on Christmas day, however there is no evidence that His birthday is actually on December 25th.

It my not be the very day that Jesus was born but I believe in Jesus and if that is the nearest date we can come to that's ok with me I don't see anything with celebrating his birth.What wrong can there be in finding joy and picking a day to celebrate the birth of our King?

Christians pick one day out of the year to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Don't really matter what that day is. God created every day.

I seriously doubt it-but then again you never know.
When this time of year was chosen to celebrate Christ's birth,being we Don't know when he was really born, I bet no one could have guessed then what an impact it would have on the Christian religion.
A great time to bring peace, love, understanding , cheer, and hope for a year ending and a new one begining.

Of course not. It was originally to celebrate the winter solstice. The yule log was originally a log that was kept burning for the 12 days around the solstice.

We celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25... Why do you have a problem w/ that? I hate when hardliners wait until Jan. 4th or whenever it is to open gifts...
