  1.  @kevin6293  The birth of a man we don't even know existed, don't have an exact date on (in one story (Matthew), Joseph leaves Bethlehem because Herod has ordered a slaughter of first-borns; in another (Luke), the Roman consul is demanding that everyone return to their ancestral hometown for a census, a practice which is never recorded as happening anywhere in the Roman Empire). Oh, and don't forget: the wise men were sent by Herod to kill Jesus, but changed their minds at the last minute and presented him with gifts instead. And just one more small detail to add: Besides this highly historically implausible story (rising to the level of a fairy tale), nowhere in the NT does it suggest that Jesus's birthday is to be celebrated. In fact, NT doesn't even provide an exact date of this supposed event --- no month, no day, and not even a year. But we can't expect a holiday with pagan origins to adhere too closely to the Biblical text, now can we? On the plus side, there is an injuction to commemerate the date of Jesus's death and resurrection, so there is at least Biblical justification for the celebration of Easter.
