Jesus wasn't born on December 25 if he was born at all. They probably just made the holiday to get pagans to join their religion (that was a pagan holiday previously).

Anyways, I like the "spending time with family and friends" better, cuz it's more enjoyable, plus Jesus seems pretty humble and probably wouldn't want millions of people celebrating his birth every year.
