User blog comment:Kwiksilver/Countdown to Christmas/@comment-1583394-20091220041359

To sum things up, Jesus wasn't born on the 25th of December. Most likely, September, due to the fact that the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 9) or when Gabriel told Mary that she was pregnant with Christ. So count nine months from Dec. to Sept. and you have 9 months. Actually the big bang was created by God in my reasoning, since "let there be light", that phrase from Genesis, could relate to the theory about the Big Bang. Also, Christmas was created because it was a marking of Jesus coming to earth to die for our sins (and that, is Easter, which we can talk about later!), not just some made-up holiday for pagans to join in.
