But isn't it different for him, considering that for him they are the same?

well, not trying to be overly pedantic or anything but no one actually, really knows when he was born...

It's generally understood that the J man was born in the spring or summer closer to easter or the original date of Michaelmas. However the church squiggled all the holidays around to mess with the Pagans heads.
And speaking of the J man, happy birth day to both of them.

Putting Christmas close to the Winter Solstice has a nice symbolism to it. Jesus comes at the time when the world is dark, and He brings light to the world. Of course, this makes no sense in the southern hemisphere, bu the southern hemisphere was not relevant to the folks who put Christmas right on top of existing solstice rituals.
Anyway, yeah. Happy Birthday Jesus Christ. Stop all that weeping.

Whocares when Christ was born. His years in infancy are not very interesting nor should be the focus of anybody with half a brain, especially christians.
Christmas is a pagan holiday turned christian then turned consumerism.
Perry Como is the best thing that happened to the holiday. His CD still rocks the party that rocks the par-tay.

Actually thats one major beef I have with the bible is that we don't get to meet Jesus sooner. Can anyone imagine how much cuter he'd have been than Opie or Anakin Skywalker or the Olson twins? And for the son of God he'd have had to be a rockin' teenager too, probably even more of a wild revolutionary than I was.
When "Jesus Christ: The early years" comes out I'm going to get me a copy of it. I also think its kind of important because whether you're the son of god or not you just don't pop into the world as groovy as JC was. So obviously something cool had to happen to him. Maybe peyote or something. (Please don't jump on me for this. I'm not calling Jesus Christ a druggy here. I'm making a very well informed joke considering that the use of wine, opium, etc was fairly wide spread at the time and there is debate as to just how much of it thee holy man got into. However I do drugs so I don't consider drug use to be a criminal or defaming thing)

Actually you're wrong about your birthdate, Christ. According to scripture you're the alpha and the omega, you've been around forever. Since you are God just in the form of a human body, right?
So technically speaking you're infinite years old, not 1905 or 99.

a. to be technical the timing of the world is 4 years behind so the year should be 2009 but no-one can be bothered (goes off to find evidence)
b. christmas day was only chosen to compete with a fesitival of some "pagan" religion, i use the word pagan because i cant remember the name and its what it was referenced to as when i heard it (goes off to find evidence)
