I think we Christians need to sort of take a chill-pill when it comes to the birth of Christ and how others observe it.
Everyone knows that Christ wasn't born on December 25th. If the Catholic Church was really wanted to everyone to observe the birth the Christ, they should have set it for around the 1st the October when he was really born.
It's kind of hard to get non-believers to acknowledge the birth the Christ when we Christians cannot even do it on the right day.
There may be a purpose to obscure the date of the birth, maybe to make Easter more important because in the bible even the story of the Nativity contains hints about the crucification with the wisemen and their gifts.
