Can Christians who claim that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus show me where in the Bible it says he was born on that day, December 25th? You don't want to be celebrating his birthday on the wrong day now do you? That would be embarrassing.

You can't, bc he wasn't born then. If you look into the history of Xmas, it originated from pagan beliefs in which the Bible says not to have anything to do with.

That's like saying it would be embarassing to have your birthday party on a day other than your birthday. Really now, be reasonable.
Most Christians will acknowledge that Christ was born sometime in the summer, since the shepherds wouldn't have been in the fields in the winter. The reason for celebrating in December is because it was the time of a pagan festival, and as a way of speaking out against it, the early church decided to celebrate a holy occasion at that time.
And the day isn't so important anyways. We should celebrate Christ every day. It's not a once-a-year sort of thing.

Birthday celebrations don't necessarily need to be on the exact day of birth. How many times has your own birthday fallen in the middle of a work week and your party was held on the weekend before or after the actual birthday? As a Christian, I celebrate the birth, death, and resurection of Jesus Christ daily. Not all celebrations have to be major productions like Christmas and Easter. Daily thanking God for giving His only begotten Son for the forgiveness of my sins is also celebrating the birth, death, and resurection of Christ.

That is a tridition and NO Jesus was NOT born on Dec 25, the reason we know that is because that part of the world has winter the same time as we do, and it says the shepards were in the fields keeping watch... well during the winter they are inside.

I believe he was born on April 6th. But, I celebrate Dec 25th with the rest of the world who also celebrates it...I don't think it matters what day, as long as we recognize the importance and divinity of his birth and life.

It doesn't say it in the bible.
(Funny, I thought all Atheist claim to know about the bible more than Christians)
We know that is not the actual day He was born. We just Celebrate that day.
*Blushing with embarrassment* .... really I am.

We don't know the exact date that he was born on but he was born in a manger on a winter's night. It doesn't matter what day he was born on that's not what Christmas is about. Christmas is about spending time with loved ones and having a good time.

The day to celebrate the birth of Christ was chosen as the true day is unkown!. Surely you have been taught that fact before now.
