That's being somewhat anachronistic if you think about it. Of course Jesus Christ was born on his birthday...most people are. When else could he have been born?
It couldn't have been called Christmas until after his birth......

Good question Jox, I hope I have not opened a can of worms in someone else's thread.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
