People celebrate Christ's birth on Christmas. But, He wasn't actually born in December. (I can't tell you the exact month He was born because I don't know for certainty.)  December is just the month people celebrate Him coming to earth along with all the amazing things that happened around that same time.

Ah, right. I never knew that. ^-^

Correct. Frankincense, gold and myrrh were the gifts.

But, did you know that the Wisemen didn't actually make it to Bethlehem when Jesus was born? Their journey to see Jesus supposedly took them around 5 years!
