Whatever.
Most Biblical mathematical scholars believe the actual birth of Jesus was in September/Ocotober.
'So, if you have followed the above reasoning, based on the scriptural evidence, a case can apparently be made that Jesus Christ was born on the 15th day of the month of Tishri, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which corresponds to the September - October timeframe of our present calendar!'
What day was Jesus born?
That's for those who believe he truly was the Messiah, and not just a naughty hippy.
Either way, by the 15th January, that Russian tinsel 'n' assorted tat, should have been packed back in the Kremlin loft.
