Jesus could not have been born in the winter? Think again.

If you live in America, far above the Mason-Dixon line, you may have long associated Christmas with snow. However, if you are looking for a white Christmas in Bethlehem, you probably need to go to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and not Bethlehem, Israel.

As the map shows, Bethlehem, Israel is at the same latitude as Dallas, Texas. Not exactly the north pole.

Bethlehem, Israel at night is cold by the standard of ''jacket weather'' cold. Sheep, in case you don't know, have built-in wool jackets and they did graze in the fields around Bethlehem in December- and still do.

This argument is a non-starter.
