That one that confuses you, the one you should avoid.

No one knows for sure what month, not to mention which day, that Jesus was born on. Various theories have been raised that put Jesus' birth in April, October, and September. But no one knows for sure.
Additionally, our calendar is inaccurate. It set about 4 years too late. This is known by comparing the biblical accounts of gospels and the extrabiblical records known about Quirinius, the governor of Syria (Luke 2:2) and Herod the Great (Matt. 2:19) who died in 4 B.C. in the year of Jesus' birth. Humorously, that would make Jesus, born in 4 B.C.

Well, I think that's still Christianity. Christians do celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Good Friday, but there's nothing in the Bible that says you have to celebrate those holidays, so it's not really wrong if you don't acknowledge them, although you would miss out on a lot of fun and I don't see anything wrong with celebrating those things on the wrong day (technically we should celebrate those things everyday) especially since we don't really know the right day. But, back to your question, it still boils down to Christianity.

Er Christianity? Away from the madness of Yahoo answers that is what every sane Christian believes, the bible is not to be taken literally, that the mid-winter festival was co-opted by Christianity and that Easter (originally the Jewish Passover) is part of the Lunar calender so the date changes every year.

The Bible's only requirement for salvation is this:
"9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
11The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.
12[No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].
13For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved." Romans 10:9-13 (The AMPLIFIED Bible)
So if you believe that Jesus did exist and died for your sins, You are a Christian. This "Jesus was born at the 25th of December" stuff isn't even on the Bible. The Bible says that shepherds were watching their flock by night. They only do that in the spring. So were did we get this crud? I don't know... maybe the Catholic church.

i would call that christianity. you still believe in jesus' birth, his death, and that he died to save you. there never were specific dates in the bible about when you HAD to celebrate certain holidays. if god cared that much, he would have said so.

It's not quite that simple and dates of everything that happened that long ago are always in question - it isn't the date that is the basis of Christianity. Why don't you just say you think Christianity is foolish and have the courage of your convictions.

Christianity. It's not about dates, but about Jesus dying for our sins.

I would say you are trying to negotiate with God what you are willing to believe. Christianity is all or nothing. I have no idea what the faith you describe is.
