In this special Christmas episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast, we explore the history behind December 25th and challenge the claim that Christmas is merely a pagan holiday in disguise. Drawing from biblical accounts, Roman history, early Christian writings, and astronomical evidence, your favorite social studies teacher examines when Jesus was likely born and why December 25th became the traditional date. From the Roman census and the birth of John the Baptist to the Star of Bethlehem and ancient planetary alignments, this episode shows that December 25th was not chosen at random but carries deep theological and historical significance. While the exact date of Jesus’ birth remains uncertain, the evidence reveals a tradition rooted in early Christianity—not pagan imitation.
