Far more so than these images could ever capture. To anyone who holds Christmas, and the promise it represents in their hearts, when (or even if) these sorts of decorations hit the shelves is pretty meaningless. Hard for me to get worked up about any of it.

He was 33.5 years old and of course this happened in the Spring.'So, he had to been born in the Fall.
Not in the Winter.

In the same vein as my response to Shaun, no one who really cares about Christ's birth and the promise it has to offer cares one whit whether it was in the spring, fall, or winter. Cases have been made for all of these, but it matters not in the least. Mere distraction.
As far as his death, historical events surrounding this incident are often used to place his age between 32-34. But he could have been as old as 40. We simply do not know and, again, such quibbling is merely a distraction. Folks who would like to demonstrate that they "know something" about all of this often fall into meaningless arguments regarding irrelevant specifics.
Next thing you know, you will try to tell us that He rode an Evo...
