Actually, the history of December 25th being the day Jesus was born was a ploy by the Romans. They were at war at the time and were losing ground and needed a way to trick the enemy, so they sent a messenger to the other side and asked them for a day to stop fighting so that the Romans could honor their religious holiday (which didn't exist before then). The enemy agreed and there was to be no fighting on December 25th. The Romans then invaded the enemies camp that night and slaughtered them. Merry Christmas!!!
