I simply cannot match this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas
In short - there already was a celebration at this time for winter sostice. Over time, it became the Christmas celebration.
We, of course, have absolutley no idea what day Jesus was born on.

It was celebrated many times before 200 A.D. and many times after before they settled on the Dec 25th date and it was said to be in the 15th century in Victorian Britain.

I think it was the year right before they started the Macy's day parade! You know the one with the St. Nicklaus bringing up the rear! These classic traditions are great aren't they? Maybe it was the year that balloon crashed into a light pole and nearly killed that woman!

December 25 has been observed since the fourth century C.E., when the Roman Catholic Church designated that day for religious observance of Jesus' birth.

That is the most ignorant answer I've ever seen.
the "(christ)mas"
jeezi. Unless your catholic, maybe. Christ was born in Easter, he was resurrected at the time Christmas is today.
Christmas is a holiday the Catholics came up with maybe in the 1700's (maybe?). They didn't celebrate it like we do today.
