It was a pagan celebration (occuring around the solstice or something along those lines) and when the Romans were attempting to convert people, they found it to be much easier to map popular events with something the pagan peoples were already celebrating. If you actually do some research, Jesus was most likey born sometime between May and June.
The same basic idea holds true for the Easter holliday, I believe.

Over here you have to be over 15... my problem is that I don't have or have ever had, a girlfriend. Guess I'll have to stick with something more trusty as my computer or my PS2... or perhaps my calculator. People aren't to be trusted
