You know that answer is really going to piss off Jesus. He hates not having
Actually dec 25 isn't his birthday... it was changed to this in 315ad
or so by Constantine. His actual birthdate was closer to March IIRC.
I've also heard other sources that say September, something to do with
Judaism prophicy but most seem to believe March is closer to reality.
The change served a few functions.... one of which was to actuallly
seperate Christianity from Judaism, which well seems kinda silly to me
as Christianity has roots in Judiasm... and it was also a political
move to put it on the same date as the winter solstice... a perfect
time for a holiday as there is so little sunlight it being the
"Solstice", or likely was durint that time period.
But regardless of the reasons this is when we celebrate x-mas... a
holididay while it's become most commercial over the years at least
that way the idea of "wouldn't it be nice to be nice to people for a
change" can be shared by non christians... buy buying them junk.
