...Christmas? you do know Christmas was a Pagan holiday and has nothing to do with Jesus... Christians just said "Jesus was born on that day" just to convert the Pagans... so I think it should be called "Pagan-mas" not Christmas...
(Christmas was renamed by the Christians)
(pssst... I'm Christian, and yes I know Christians had their own holiday, but they only moved it just to convert the Pagans...)
(I know atheist that have read the whole Bible... they tell me it has pretty good stories in it.... don't stereotype atheist... they do their research before they comment on stuff... unlike most religious people)(oh.. wait that was a stereotype :P)

No one knows the exact date that Jesus was born or died on. (or Moses etc. either) The selection to use certain dayes for the Christian holidays was more of a civil matter than a religious concern. Paganism has many disgusting attributes such as human sacrifice, canabalismm and blood drinking. Since those events had to happen on certain astral times Christians put their own holidays on those dates to stamp out the bloody practice.

Going to a Christian church at the time of the pagan ritual was proof to the community that you were not practing paganism and added the protection that those not at church would be shown as suspects if something bad happened. Many amamtures think paganism was about dancing around the maypole etc and forget how murderous it was.

Why would pagans commemorate the birth of Christ?

Christmas: "a Christian feast on December 25 or among some Eastern Orthodox Christians on January 7 that commemorates the birth of Christ and is usually observed as a legal holiday"

Every day of the week has a Pagan name:
The Pope only recognized what the Christians had been doing for a long time;
I believe Jesus was born on the "Day of Atonement" September 05 B.C.;
,with Dec. 25th ,no matter the day,at least the "World" has to consider :
Jesus was born to take on the Sins of the whole World;
