Oh, come on - everyone knows Christ was really born in spring or summer.
You gotta admit it's a pretty sneaky way to get rid of Saturnalia, though. I found out about this when I was twelve and have been quite intrigued about it ever since. It doesn't really matter to me when we celebrate Christmas, though - it's just symbolic, and I like it that way.
