December 25th was the traditional Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice, and the festival was usurped by the early Christian church.
Many scholars have concluded that Jesus's birth was unlikely to have occurred in December.
Theologians have suggested that Jesus was born in the spring, based on the biblical narrative that shepherds were watching over their flocks in the fields on the night of Jesus’ birth.
Something they would have done in the spring, not the winter.

So as well as being factually inaccurate, I doubt our saviour is too bothered about the clash of his "birth"day and the Christian celebration of his birth.

So they have two birthdays like Her Majesty The Queen.
