I found a very interesting article in this link. Kind of creepy that the author suggests that Jesus was actually born on Sept. 11th of the year 3 B.C. It also mentions that the Magi (Wisemen) probably visited Jesus when he was about 15 months old ( which would be close to our Christmas time). So it would make sense in some respect to celebrate Christmas when we do.
If you're not really open-minded or are interested in different religious views-you might want to skip this. It's a lot of reading.
