It is doubtful that Jesus was truly born on December 25th. Some early church fathers believed it to have been December 25th, but the Bible does not say when Jesus was born.

    I do not beleive that Our Lord Jesus was born on December the 25th.
    The 21st of December starts the winter solstic, which is a pagan festival worshipping the sun God. The early church adopted this festival and sun for son!
    My family and I do not have any celebration at all. All the relevent info about the pagan festival is a available ‘to be tested’(seek and ye shall find).The Romans worshipped many gods.
    It is about time that as true beleivers in Jesus we looked to him, not as a baby in a manger, but as the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.One day He is coming back for us, I hope it will not be on the 25th December when some of us are surrounded with food, presents and tinsel!
    May the Lord open our eyes and our hearts to any errors that take us away from Him at certain times of the year.
    God Bless you all.
    HE IS RISEN, AMEN
