It is sad how often the devil places assignments in the hands of Christians and it is even more sad to see believers pursue these devil induced assignments with Zeal. It bothers me the way Christians spend much energy fighting and arguing on non essentials leaving the essentials. The debate of whether Dec 25 is the authentic birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ is a devil induced argument. What does it matter whether He was born on Dec 25 or not. Whatever, was born sha! Why are concerned about the actual date. Which is bigger, that He was born or the day He was born. I think the fact that He was born is the bigger issue. Why not concentrate on the bigger issue than arguments on the day He was born. My father was not sure of his actual birthday. His parents were stark illiterates so no record was made. My father chose a date based on the stories he heard from his parents and has since adopted that date more than 50 years ago. Today he is 73. Even if the date he chose is wrong, what has that removed from him. For those who argue that Christmas must not be celebrated, this is another misdirected argument. Personally, I see no big deal about birthdays but my wife does. We have different personalities so I just had to bend to accommodate my wife's opinion. We need to be more tolerant of other peoples opinion and idiosyncrasies. The argument that Christmas was devoted to Pagan worship is a waste of time. Sunday was equally devoted to worship of the sun god in ancient Greek. That wasn't the originally Sabbath but we have all accepted Sunday as a day of worship above the Saturday reccomended in the Bible. These are minors. Why placing undue attention on the minors. To me Christmas is not a big deal because I celebrate Jesus every day. But I am not going to join issues with those who wish to set aside a day to celebrate Him. There are better things to talk about...KSO

God bless you my brother. We have the sam spirit. I don't go crazy over christmas cause everyday is my own christmas, but I will never condem people celebrating their saviour.
Considering that there were no birth certificates at those times, if christians have chosen one day to celebrate him, well and good. Merry christmas everybody.
