Cool question. He probably didn't have a huge celebration because most people didn't know that he was going to die for them, so his birthday was the same as any other. Then, when he died, some people realized what he had done for them, and celebrated by buying gifts for each other...lol. I always wondered how how the concept of giving gifts to each other, was derived from God's greatest gift to us. We should be giving ourselves to Jesus at Christmas, not getting so caught up in the exchange of gifts to one another!

Jesus was on the earth for about 33 years. He never once celebrated his birthday. In fact, Christmas would have been wiped out completely

Celebrating the Solstice.
That's what the holiday was originally. Then Christians tried to claim it for their own.
But Jesus was alive during the very, VERY early roots of Christianity, when Pagan celebrations would still have been very common.
Celebrating the solstice was at least what everybody else did at the time.

He would have gone to the Temple and praised God, as the Jews did, and would have spent a lot of time with his friends feasting! As the Jews did.

He (peace be upon him) probably wouldn't celebrate because he was Jewish. He (peace be upon him) would probably be dissapointed that his "followers" were worshiping him (peace be upon him) instead of Allah. There is speculation on when he was born. Those in the Middle East, where he (peace be upon him) was born, say it is on Janurary 7th. Sister Badra, above is right also it is in Jeremiah 10:2-5.

Jesus didn't worship the Persian god Mithra, whose birthday eventually developed into the modern-day celebration of Christmas.
Jesus would have known His own birthday, which wasn't in December, but I doubt that He would have celebrated it.

Trying to help people know and love God and be good to one another. I imagine the same way He spent every other day He was here on earth

Jesus (peace be upon him) wouldn't be celebrating christmas because he pbuh wasn't even born on december 25! there's no proof in the bible for his birthdate or him talking about christmas. in fact, the bible despises the christmas tree and calls it a foolish act.
sorry if i offend anyone but feel free to check your own bible for this proof. If i am lying, i welcome your comments!
thanks!

Like other normal people, he would spend time with his freinds and family having a few drinks and probably a nice meal.
He was just a very normal man after all.
