A day after tomorrow is already Christmas day. In fact, tomorrow night is already the most awaited "Noche Buena", the end of the 9 evenings "simbang gabi", among the Catholics. For millions and millions of Christians celebrating this special day, for them, they believe that it is the Birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ...Do you believe that December 25, Christmas Day is really the exact date of Jesus Christ birthday?

Christmas is more like a tradition to our society now, It's impossible jesus would of being born on december 25, if you have read the bible says jesus was born like in a small farm or a place where they keep animals. So obviously if he was born there, it would be so cold to for his mother to give birth there. Obviously it was a day when it was more warm.

It is just but symbolic. It doesn't matter though when it brings unity to most who believes in Him. So why make a fuss out of it. Merry Christmas!

No, I don't think that 12-25 is the birth of Jesus. They had to come up with a date so I guess that this date would do.
To me, Xmas is just to let us know that winter is here and it is time to spend some money on gifts that will probably be taken back to the store, and exchanged for something else. ...

I know it isn't His birthday. But, so what? We are celebrating the fact that the Son of God came in the form of a tiny infant to save us. The date doesn't matter. I know my cat was not born on August 22. But, if I choose to celebrate her life on that particular day, there is nothing wrong with that.

i guest Christmas is only traditional Jesus never teach christian to celebrate Christmas its because you will never find it in bible that jesus tell the people to celebrate Christmas.
i dont think that December 25 is the exact birth of Christ as long as there is no proof in the bible or historian book.

I don't think this is the exact day that Jesus Christ was born. It's been a long time and I don't really know how to figure out the exact date so I'm really not sure about this statement. Maybe historians can tell you an accurate answer.

Definitely NOT Jesus birthday!! Period. Even Catholics knew that. Even priests. Even the pope. But traditions are traditions and it has already rooted in the hearts of millions of people. It's just sad that this day that is credited as his date of birth is actually the birth date of someone pagan, a foe of Jesus.
