Hi, arkin. I have been believing this story all of my life. I wonder sometimes, if Christ was really born on December 25. There is no mention of this date anywhere in the Bible. There are clues leading up to this date. But, I don't think that anyone can be so accurate. I would like to know if this is true too.

The Church of Rome chose December 25 to counteract the pagan celebration of Saturnalia a Roman celebration dealing with the winter solstice. They thought that it was a way of getting the people to worship Christ instead. Christ more likely was born in the spring since Shepherds were out in the fields with the sheep.

Well, I don't know anything about that.
But... Do you know how many birthdays there are a year? Hundreds. Literally hundreds!
Sorry, sorry. Had to get a Master Shake quote in myLot somewhere. There aren't enough of them floating around.
