Born on the 6th of January as I understand it but why miss the oppertunity to poach another Pagan festival. What do ye think Holly, Ivy and Yule logs are all about?
Can't believe how time really flies so fast. The last time I remember was Christmas last year (exaggerating, lol) ... and again its the time of the year ...

Seen a TV show in which they worked out the date he was born approx. It was the middle of the summer as far as I can remember.

The birth of Christ was in May. Even today, nobody brings sheep down from the mountains in the middle of winter, so December could not be right for His birth. Remember the three shepherds? They would not be traveling in winter.

Those Pagans gotta be shushed somehow it seems lol. And what would the commercial world do without all that extra dosh at xmas? My personal fav is gettting our kids to sit on strange men's knees for this one day and teaching them not to for the rest of the year...

I also find it strange that people teach their children to be wary of strangers and yet I have often seen terrified, crying children persuaded to sit on this person's knee and take sweets from him. Not only that, but he comes into your house while you are sleeping! Oh, for the days of innocence and blind trust!
Am I just too wary or do I have a point here??? I honestly do wonder what others think
Not GOD's birthday - surely God is eternal, without beginning and without a birthday. Maybe in your ignorance you were referring to the birth of Jesus. The actual birthday of Jesus is calculated to be sometime in March 6BC - some say 4BC. Not that FACTS are going to get in the way of your blind beliefs.
Here in Australia Christmas, like all other holidays, just means an excuse to indulge in our favorite occupation - obsession with alcohol, drugs and violence.
Is there any chance Jesus, God or anyone else will save us from ourselves?? Please!!
