Dec 20, 2012 is the last day unless you are a Mayan who are mostly Christian and other Christians who know how things are to end. Some people have even put off Christmas shopping until tomorrow. No sense purchasing presents if Christmas never comes. Of course Christmas is the celebration of the birthday of Christ and if you know Christ as your savor then you know that December 21 is not the end of the world.
No, December 25 is not the birthday of Christ but it isn't a pagan holiday as non-Christians would have you believe. December 25 was a pagan holiday and the Catholic church found that donations fell off tremendously during this time period so the church decided to celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25 to increase donations. It worked. Because there was a pagan holiday on December 25 some people think that the paganism was incorporated into the worship of the birth of Christ but that just isn't true.
