however no one knows the exact date of Jesus birth

I'm a bit busy to check this now, but I recall the bible mentioning Jesus being born around the time that shepherd's were tending young lambs... so we can estimate which month Jesus was born.

Our family celebrates Jesus Christ's birth on December 25, but without any of the Pagan associations. We have no gift-giving or tree cutting or flashing lights or mistletoe and instead everyone is asked to cook one side dish for everyone else to enjoy and our family invites Jesus to celebrate his birth with us.

We set a place at the head of the table for Jesus Christ. We recognize that we don't know Jesus exact birth date and we each speak of acts or teachings of Jesus Christ that was specifically important to us during the year.

I think that is a good compromise.

EDIT: With enough research, I wonder if we could narrow down Jesus' birth date even further. If we could narrow it down to a few weeks then we may attract enough traction to move Christmas to a more accurate date and abandon the Pagan aspects. I'd like to see the needless consumerism of Christmas replaced by caring for strangers as a gift to our Lord and Savior.
