The Winter Solstice still happens when they say. The birth of Jesus? Maybe not so much.
"I'm dreaming of a hazy, hot and humid Christmas..."
Of all the things to debunk about Jesus, I never would've figured his birthday would be a high priority target.

Huh. Old news, though...Luke says that the shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks at night, which only happened during the Spring birthing season.
Do you know who was born on December 25th, though? Mithras, a god widely worshiped by the middle and upper classes in Judea and Palestine around the time of the Bible's writing. Mithras was born of a virgin woman and resurrected after death. Huh.
