Great. I will bring a new game we all can play at His birthday party. It is called "Pin the Monkey Tail on Charles Darwin." It will keep Jesus entertained for many eras of evolution to come.

Ah, these poor deludes souls who think that Christmas IS Jesus' birthday . . .
Why is it necessary to celebrate a biorthday ON the exact day? Have they never heard of President's Day, where we celebrate both Georege Washington's birthday (February 22) and Abraham Lincoln's birthday (February 12) on February 18?
Christmas is the date WE CHOSE to celebrate the birth of Jesus, based on the presence of an already-existing pagan holiday. SInce the towns basically shut down during the pagan end-of-year and Winter Solstice celebration, might as well Celebrate Jesus' birthday too, as no other business could be performed.
David is CLOSE, but still not quite right. There is PLENTIFUL evidence in the New Testament to show that Jesus was born sometime AFTER the fall harvest, but before winter set in.
For example, the shepherds were staying outside in the field with their sheep. Now, fertile ground was a bit scarce at that time, so there was no real grazing land avialable for sheep. But the sheep WERE allowed into the farmlands AFTER the harvest. In fact, Jewish Law states that the farmers MUST leave any spilled or trampled grain for the beasts of the field to eat their fill.
Since the shepherds were staying IN the fields, we know that the weather was also rather pleasant, even warm. When cold weather threatened, the sheep were penned indoors, and the humans ALSO slept indoors.
We ALSO know that there was a census being taken at that time. Now, in those days a census required that each person return to his or her home town to be counted. This would have been an extreme hardship during the spring planting months or the summer growing months or the winter months, but to schedule a census during the FALL, after the harvest, when local taxes were due to be paid, was the logical thing to do. Another clue: No room at the Inn!
So, based on biblical evidence ONLY, we can place the time of Jesus' birth sometime in the fall, after the harvest but before cool weather set in. This would place Jesus' birthday sometime from about mid-September to about mid-October, using currrent calendar months.

Tomorrow may or may not be Christ's birthday. No date is given in scripture. There are some who connect the star that appeared at Christ's with the annual meteor show. But since it is an annual event (and the ancients know that) it would not have stood out as a unique stellar event.
But regardless of when the birth happened, the celebration of the birth of Christ is on December 25th. It is called the "Christ mass". Like any mass that celebrate a saint's life, it is not required to fall on the day of the person's birth (death, or other important event.) Rather it is the day chosen to celebrate that event. In the case of Christ, that day is Dec 25.
If you want to argue that tomorrow is the day of his birth, lets see the evidence (lacking in your question). But the day of the CELEBRATION is Dec 25.

Wrong'O ace........ the "wise men" did not even arrive in Bethlehem until two years after the Birth of Jesus.... and the date for that is NOT given or even implied, it The Word..... and The Star was not before.... and is not now... in the sky.... God made it visible ONLY during that time and for that specific purpose.....that is why it stood out as a "Sign from God" to the Astronomers/astrologers who recognized it as the sign predicted by the ancient Jewish writing

scripture DOES reveal the exact date of the birth of Jesus. It is in Job 3 and Jer 20.
God cursed that day OUT OF EXISTENCE. hence, your false way of obtaining such stuff is of satan; not of God.
Jesus's birthdate is Feb 30. that is why this day does not exist on our calendar. God had it blotted out SO IT COULD NOT BE CELEBRATED, OR BLESSED.
God is not into such carnal mess. Only idol worshippers do this kind of stuff. You will never know truth, seeking it in any place except the KING JAMES WORD OF GOD.

did you apply it to middle eastern standards? or north american...... too many loopholes..... but since nobody really knows, celebrate it whenever you want. And no, December 25th was actually a pagan celebration of the days being longer. Constantine wanted to maintain his worship to the sun god, Sol Invictus, so he kept the Christian traditions on pagan holidays to assuage the masses.

Please share your calculations.
The celebration remains Dec 25. The Church has moved many commemorations over the centuries for good and suitable reasons. Dec 25t was established as the celebration of Christ's birth to Christianize and sanctify the time that was previously defiled by Saturnalia.
