If you are supported by your faith in Jesus, does it really matter that his exact birthday may not be Dec 25th?    Is that really the most important thing we take away from Jesus teachings on love, compassion, non-violence, wholeness with all living things?    

 I'd say if your Christianity shins brightest during Christmas, you aren't standing up when you're needed most.  Yet, millions of Christians are serving others in places like Syria or South Sudan, saving lives while they risk their own.   And I might point out, standing with others of different faiths that share their pull toward compassion.     The stories of Jesus portrayed a man that loved others without preconditions.
