Let’s face it: Christmas as we know it is a pagan festival dressed up in Christian clothes, with some glittery tinsel for good measure. December 25 was a convenient co-opt of the Roman festival Saturnalia, celebrating—you guessed it—the sun god. The early church slapped Jesus’s birthday on that date to make it easier for converts to ditch their pagan revelry without actually giving it up. Ever wondered why you drag a tree indoors every year? Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with Bethlehem or shepherds abiding in the fields. It’s a pagan tradition to honor fertility gods. Even the twinkling lights hark back to fire rituals aimed at coaxing the sun to return after the winter solstice. Shouldn’t we, as Christians, be brave enough to reclaim the narrative and celebrate Christ’s actual birthday in September?
Now, before you clutch your eggnog and shout “tradition!” let’s look at the facts. Historical and astronomical evidence strongly suggests that Jesus was born on September 11, 3 BC. Dr. Ernest Martin and other scholars have argued convincingly that the alignment of celestial events described in Revelation 12 points to this date. So, while you’re fighting mall crowds and maxing out your credit cards in December, you’re really just honoring the Roman sun god. Why not set the record straight and celebrate Christ’s birth in the season it likely occurred—when shepherds were still out in the fields, not huddled around fires avoiding frostbite?
And here’s the kicker: radical Islamic terrorists may understand this history better than we do. They deliberately chose September 11 to launch their attacks because they knew the date marked something sacred—the birth of the Messiah, the true King of Kings. How ironic that Christians, in their rush to blend in with the pagans, forgot this date’s significance. By reclaiming September 11 as Jesus’s birthday, we send a powerful message to those who seek to destroy us: we’re not afraid, and we will celebrate the true Lord of Lords on the day He came into the world.
Also, let’s be real: who actually likes Christmas weather? It’s freezing, the roads are slick, and half the flights are canceled because of blizzards. Swapping December for September gives us the chance to enjoy a holiday in crisp autumn weather. Imagine celebrating Christmas with apples and warm sunshine instead of frostbite and soggy wrapping paper. Plus, no more freezing your hands stringing up lights outside only for them to short-circuit in the snow. Let’s retire the winter solstice charade and reclaim a season that doesn’t try to kill us.
So, let’s call it: it’s time to ditch the pagan Christmas we’ve been blindly celebrating and return to the truth. Let’s honor Jesus’s real birthday on September 11, where historical evidence and astronomical precision meet. It’s the ultimate symbolic reset—a rejection of ancient paganism and a bold stand against modern-day terrorism. Plus, celebrating in the fall means fewer icy road fatalities. Win-win. Who’s with me

All our Christmas traditions come from trying to entice the pagans to become converts. But it looks like they converted us. I love your idea of a September 11 celebration, but know in my heart that it will never happen.
Thanks for another great history lesson.
