Since December 25th is no more an accurate date of Jesus' birth as, say, October 12th, why not just find a new date for Christians to celebrate the date for what it represents without all the public clutter?

You make a very good point!

If the secularists want Christmas all to themselves, why don't the churches get together and redefine the date that Christ was born. With today's scholarship, you'd think they could pin that down retty close.

Then, the secularist Christmas would OFFICIALLY be the winter holidays and Christmas would be Christmas.

I wonder what kind of screaming would go on if we took Christmas away from them. I mean, what could they say? They themselves denied that it was Christmas anyway.

Know what I'm sayin'?

Many already have. I'll give a link. Messiah Yeshua(Jesus) was born 6 months following John, probably on Tishri 15(early Fall), the first day of the Feast of Sukkot and was circumcized on Simchah Torah(Rejoicing in Torah), the 8th and final day of the Feast. The same Feast will be commemorated annually in the Messianic Kingdom to come as the anniversary of the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. All of the Fall Feasts of the Lord will be fulfilled at His second coming, as the Spring Feasts were fulfilled during His first coming.

Messiah's Birth at Sukkot
