I've been hearing that christmas is a pagan holiday:however, me myself do belive that it is a holiday to celebrate the birth of christ?
Just needing some clarification if Jesus was really born on December 25?

God Bless

Think of it as celebration of Washingtons birthday here in the US, we actually know his but yet celebrateit on anothter day most of the time to fit holdiay schedules
