Is it OK to tell everyone: "Happy Jesus' Birthday...!!!" instead of "Merry Christmas...!!!"?
He's 2009 today and that's a LOT of candles...!!!

Actually, he is at least 2013, since the king that greeted the kings and killed the 2 year olds died in 4 "BC". And you might as well say it because His birthday was almost certainly in the summer as traveling in the winter for a census is nonsense. Christmas is Christ's Mass and Dec. 25th was designated as His day, like the Saints days the rest of the year, almost certainly to counter the pagan "celebration" of the Winter Solstice when rites were held to make the sun come back on the shortest day of the year.

Well not really because then the people who don't really believe in Jesus will not really appreciate "happy Jesus' birthday!!!" and also.... Jesus birthday is not really today. Some people believe that since that star so bright led the three wise men its couldn't have been on December. you could check it out if you want too... go to Google, type in "when is Jesus' real birthday?" see for yourself

well, Christmas is the day to celebrate his birth, but not his birthday, so technically you would be wrong
And Jesus, when he was alive, would never have celebrated his birthday

i think it's within the bounds of political correctness, and whilst slightly historically inaccurate, is widely socially accepted.
however, you may want to consider the fact that you'd sound like a nobhead.
