Yet the Zeitgeist Documentaries would have you believe that December 25th is indeed the factual birth date which is far from the case.
Actually, we celebrate Christmas on December 25th because of the Pagan holiday Yule. Way back in the day Christians wanted to "out-do" the Pagans on their own holiday and decided to celebrate the birth of Christ on the Pagans' Yule. Though, we got our traditions of Christmas trees and lights from the Pagans' own celebrations and traditions.

Interesting factoids for ya.
