Most skeptics and myself included aren’t disbelieving of the story of the nativity, but rather its alignment with December 25th which was derived from pagan holidays, particularly the ones surrounding the winter solstice.
Just like a lot of videos on this subject this one is in error also. This is because it is predicated on a misreading of a lunar eclipse mentioned by Josephus in his History of the Jews. The correct lunar eclipse occurred in 1 BC, and that is the year of the death of Herod the Great. Once this has been ascertained it then shines a light on the conjunction of 3-2 BC between Jupiter and Venus that astonished the world, which points to the birth of the Messiah in 3BC. The visitation of the Magi occurred in what in the West is known as Old Christmas Day, which on the Gregorian calendar would have been on twelveth night in 1BC. This is the date that the Magi went to worship the toddler Jesus who was then around fifteen months of age, at the House that he was living in with his parents in Bethlehem. Also the Magi were from the Court of the Parthian Empire, and not from the Persian Empire which ended with Alexander the Great. So as you can see the Christmas celebration has nothing to do with the actual date of the Messiah's nativity. The true date of the Nativity is actually given astrologically in the Book of Revelation. This is where the Woman is clothed with the Sun (Virgo), and the Moon is under her feet in (Leo). This obviously makes much more sense that the promised Messiah would be born to a Virgin, and that astrologically she would be represented by the constellation of Virgo. This Revelation was given to the early Christians to confirm the date of the birth of the Messiah, which in 3 BC on the Jewish calendar would have fallen on Tishri One which would have signified a New Beginning to the Jews of that era. On the Julian calendar of the early Christians the date given for the Birth of the Messiah is around the 11th of September 3 BC.
Jesus was most likely born in September somewhere between 7-5 BC, And crucified according to most scholars in April 30 or 33 AD, At age between 33-38 😉👍🏻🙏🏻✝️👑 And he is risen.
Of course it's not a myth. It's a real event but evidences doesn't point it to be on December. But otherwise Jesus Birth ls real regardless of the date we celebrated it.

If Jesus or the apostles celebrates Christmas I would also celebrate Christmas. Jesus wants us to be truly reborn and he wasn't born in dec25.
