Did you know that today is Christmas?
Today is the real date of Christmas, that's why there are '12 days' of Christmas. The Catholic Church made Dec. 25 into the new "Christmas" because they wanted to overpower and eliminate the pagan holiday of Saturnalia, and then after they did, they kept the Dec. 25 date, but even they recognize today as "Little Christmas" or "Epiphania" (Epiphany).
The Armenian Orthodox Church and some others celebrate Christmas today (or on Jan. 7, tomorrow). MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well today in church (Episcopal) we celebrated the coming of the Magi or the 3 Wise Men. (Epiphany)
So it was like Christmas.
The Orthodox Church (Armenian-Greek-all the others) is probably right though....

I didn't know this but you have so kindly articulated the question as to enable anyone earn two points by answering it any which way. You are a kind heart and I wish you a very Merry Christmas [and a happy New Year - but when will your new year commence?]

Just to cover my bases,I have Christmas presents sent to me everyday,starting on Dec 25th through Jan 25th... I'm not taking any chances...
Either way,I often do not celebrate my birthdate on Oct 24th and celebrate with family and friends when it is convenient for all to attend the celebration.The main thing is that once a year,I am honored by those who love me...The exact date,is not important.

The Devil is very sneaky, today is not Christmas, which you call Christ's Birthday... no one knows, there wasn't even calenders in that time... Christmas is just a mundane holiday, an excuse to the eye's of God.

I knew that. I just finished wrapping my daughter's presents for tomorrow. She gets 3 present days, St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, and Orthodox Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Everday of the Year Should Be Christmas for Christians and Those who do Believe...

Why should ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY be more important that your's or mine?
the world was inhabited by dinosaurs some 200 million years before anything to do with god or xmas (ref Triassic or Jurassic)
world was created in 5 days? Seems dates are not god's strong point ...lol
There are other religions that share the same or similar events or beliefs of Christianity but they where there hundreds or thousands of years before Christianity
Makes you think the bible was only a copy of somebody else's religion (plagiarism)
