The Birth of Jesus Christ
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
The Shepherds and the Angels
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

I heard that Sabbath day was pushed from Saturday to Sunday. And so was the day Jesus Christ (peace and blessings be upon him) was born, to the 25th of December. Also the day a sun god (from I forgot what religion) was born.
I'm not kidding. I read this somewhere. That's also why some christians from other parts of the world don't celebrate it on the 25th of December. -
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconcile.
Joyful all ye nations rise
join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic host proclaim
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
Christ by highest heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail, the incarnate deity,
pleased as Man with to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the suns of earth,
born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King. -
Though I'm not religious, I do believe in the notions of Xmas like goodwill and peace on earth. So here's wishing everyone on the forums a Merry Christmas and may peace and happiness fill your life in the coming new year.

The first Noel the angel did say
was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
in fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far:
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from the country far;
to seek for a King was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three,
fell reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the kind of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
that hath made heaven and earth of nought,
and with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel -
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt
its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and
glorous morn.
Fall on your knees O hear the
angels voices.
O night divine O night when Christ as born
O night divine O night divine
O night divine -
merry xmas to all!!
may all ur wishes come true
stay healthy n happy!!
*peace on earth n mercy mild,god n sinners reconcile*
