  1) There's no such a thing as "year 0". There is only year 1 BC and after
that year 1 AD.
  2) The Gregorian calendar was created hundreds of years after Christ.
Some researches estimate that Christ was born several decades BC (I know
this statement may sound a bit silly :) ).
  3) Carefully studying the Bible shows that Christ was very improbably
born in Dec 25, but more probably in the autumn (actually Dec 25 was the
birthday of the Sun god in the Roman religion).
