The day dedicated to commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.
It is set on December 25th. People often confuse the origin of that date with the birth of a sun god from a pagan religion, but it is just a coincidence and not the case.
December 25th was picked as Christmas day because it is 9 months away (March 25th) from the start of Virgin Mary's pregnancy (in the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy with John the Baptist, according to Luke 1:26). It's also the reason why some church decided that Christmas is on January 6th, because they believe Virgin Mary start her pregnancy on April 6th.

Get the Christmas mug.Christmas fell on December 25, 2019, and was the 359th day of the year.
Due to 2020 finding every possible way to suck, it was also a "leap year," so Christmas was on the 360th day on the calendar.

Get the Christmas mug.An over commercialized holiday where you are morally obliged to buy gifts and spend your hard earned money. The only ones who come out ahead on Christmas are the store owners and bankers who hold the 22% interest rates on your credit cards that you used to buy all those fucking gifts.
