I agree that the World does not know the exact date of Jesus' birth . . . but AT LEAST I, along with two billion other Christians, choose to celebrate Our Lord's birthday on a given day. How could you possibly know what I know based on the title of one photograph ? I am sorry for you . . . being so lost in your own ego.

Jesuss Birthday?
Do you know that there is no evidence for this date? The early Christian church did not celebrate Jesus' birth. In the Gospel there is not any reference to Jesus birthday.
It wasn't until A.D. 440 that the church officially proclaimed December 25 as the birth of Christ. This was not based on any religious evidence but on a pagan feast. Saturnalia was a tradition inherited by the Roman pagans from an earlier Babylonian priesthood. December 25 was used as a celebration of the birthday of the sun god. It was observed near the winter solstice.
Christian authority chose the date of this pagan celebration to interest also pagans in Christianity. The pagans were already used to celebrating on this date.
You should know a little more about the religion you claim to be a believer of.
