In my recent years I've had a hard time believing we should celebrate this in Dec. 25th. Most Christians know this isn't the right date. Christ was likely born on a feast day in Autumn, and we are only supposed to hold feast days as sacred.
I don't buy the fiat argument that, "Well, it's tradition." There are plenty of traditions to celebrate on Christmas while still recognizing that Christ was not born on that day.
