Jesus was born in the spring. Most likely April. The evidence the bible gives for this is about the shepards grazing their flocks in the hills outside of town. The only time of the year there is enough rain there for grass to grow up there...is in the spring.
Follow whatever holiday you want. It all belongs to the earth, not the spirit.

I agree.. which is how I know Christ ws not born in Dec...however as a christian, following pagan beliefs and ritualls goes against the very point or purpose in being a Christian. As such to follow the scriptures Lev 18:3 (gist not looking at it right now) it says --after doing in the land of egypt where you dewlt you shall not do and after the doing of the land of Canaan ye shan not do neither shall you wallk in their ordinances....also Jer 10:1-3 Learn not the way of the heathen and not be dismayed at the sign of the heavens for the customs of the heathen are in vain. Lev 18:24-30--ye shall keep m statuets and my judgements and not commit any of thesse Abominations......any who comit such abominations shall be cut off from thier ppl..you shall keep my ordinace..defile not youselves..I am the Lord your God.
i dont claim to be christian but is it not to model ourselves after Christ..the perfect son of god who came to this earth to be a ransom sacrifice for us all...(attoning adams sin) if its that serious shouldnt we take modeling after him just as serious?
