is jesus birthday actually on christmas

The holiday of Christmas is not the birthday of Jesus. The exact date of Jesus's birth is unknown, and the celebration of his birth was established by the Christian Church centuries after his death. The date of December 25th was chosen to coincide with the Roman holiday of the "Dies Solis Invicti", or "Unconquered Sun", which celebrated the winter solstice and the returning of the sun's strength. The choice of December 25th was also intended to challenge the religious traditions of the Roman Empire.
