Christianity is fake and gay.

An unremarkable dying-God occult myth devised by the Jew Saul of Tarsus and fused with Roman paganism for political purposes.

The fact that you people see no irony in using the explicitly occult symbolism of the evergreen tree and arbitrarily celebrate it on Saturnalia, a satanic pagan pedophilic orgy celebration, just shows how unserious and dumb you are.

No, retard. It's nine months after the date of the Annunciation -- when the angel appeared to Mary. This is based on the account recorded in Scripture. Here's how it works:

We know that John the Baptist’s father, Zechariah was a priest who served in the temple at Jerusalem. While he was serving an angel appeared announcing that his wife Elizabeth would become pregnant and the boy’s name would be John. The Jewish priests were on a schedule according to their family lineage because the priesthood was hereditary. Zechariah was a priest of the class of Abijah. This is recorded in Luke 1:5. The class of Abijah was the eighth class of priests. This is recorded in Nehemiah 12:17. Each class served one week in the temple twice a year. The Abijah class took their turn during the second week of the Jewish month of Tishri. On our calendar that would fall between 22 and 30 September. Count ahead nine months. We celebrate the birth of John the Baptist on 24 June.

How does this connect with Jesus? When the angel comes to Mary to announce the conception of Jesus Christ after her assent, she goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth (John the Baptist’s mother and wife of Zechariah) when Elizabeth was six months pregnant. This is recorded in Luke 1:36. If John the Baptist was conceived around 25 September, this means Jesus was conceived around March 25 –the date Christians celebrate the Annunciation–. Count forward nine more months and you get December 25 as the date for the birth of Jesus Christ.
