So you know his birthdate? Please share! I'm pretty sure there wasn't snow at his birth in Bethlehem, but until this PP comes up with something remotely credible, we might as well pick one day and stick with it.
The shepherds were out at night.
So it must have been September at the latest
Unless you suppose the climat has changed. Christmas did not exist in the earlier centuries. It was a roman tradition to celebrate the birth dates of the gods. And Dec 25 is the birth date of a Roman god. And winter solstice was the time that the pagans futher north had celebrations.
Christmas tree is not German in origin. In case anyone is interested in knowing.
Germany does not even have reindeer
