Christmas is very ‘religious,’ (pagan) just not anything to do with Christ.

The Son of YHVH was not born on the pagan’s day.

Nobody can know the exact date, but the date isn't really important (although I like the concept of Christ supplanting and replacing the old celebrations with His birth).

What is important is the worship and joy associated with His birth and the thankfulness for what Christ has done for mankind. The day doesn't matter. Focus on WHY Christmas is celebrated, rather than on the date which is in essence form over substance.
