When was the first Christmas after Jesus was born celebrated?
I always thought that people celebrated Christmas even before Christ was born.

There were two Herods who reigned, so you can’t calculate the time

Christmas was not celebrated to the pagan Catholic Constantine created it. Yes, Christmas is pagan and has more to do with the winter solstice then Jesus. Jesus was not born on December 25 but probably in early fall or spring, because that is when the shepherds would be out in their field at night watching over their flock.

My understanding is that it was sometiime in the 4th century, when the celebration of the birth of Christ was declared to be on December 25th by Pope Julius I. This day was chosen because it was already being celebrated by pagans as a celebration of the winter solstice. Basically, they didn’t have to change WHEN they were celebrating, just WHY they were celebrating.

Yes, Yule was celebrated long before Jesus was born.
He wasn’t even born then, they just called it his birthday so that it would coincide with the Pagan holiday.

one can only speculate.
I assume sometime after the Roman era and christianity spread to New England/Britain.
Just a guess.
EDIT: I assume the question is:
When was the first time Jesus was celebrated during Christmas.

Our Yuletide celebrations go back deep into the misty ruins of time.
They predate Christianity by a many, many years and were taken on board by many other cults prior to that of the Christians.
Christmas trees, holly, mistletoe…all are a part of our ancient Yuletide celebrations.
My Grandfather would bring a Yule log for the fire too.

Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas (“mass on Christ’s dayâ€) is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jÅl or the Anglo-Saxon geÅl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages—Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French—all probably denote nativity. The German word Weihnachten denotes “hallowed night.†Since the early 20th century, Christmas has also been a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike, devoid of Christian elements, and marked by an increasingly elaborate exchange of gifts. In this secular Christmas celebration, a mythical figure named Santa Claus plays the pivotal role.
It is unknown exactly when or why December 25 became associated with Christ’s birth. The New Testament does not give a specific date. Sextus Julius Africanus popularized the idea that Christ was born on December 25 in his Chronographiai, a reference book for Christians written in AD 221. This date is nine months after the traditional date of the Incarnation (March 25), now celebrated as the Feast of the Annunciation. March 25 was considered to be the date of the vernal equinox and early Christians believed this was also the date Christ was crucified. The Christian idea that Christ was conceived on the same date that he died on the cross is consistent with a Jewish belief that a prophet lived an integral number of years

Christmas is a former pagan holiday that was celebrated centuries before Christ was born in the flesh. It was adopted into a Christian holiday about a hundred or so years after Christ death to basically bring in more converts. But here’s the kicker, God hates that! If God had wanted Christ’s birth celebrated, He would have made it clear on what day Christ was born, but He didn’t. The reason is because Christ has existed for all time. Sure there was a physical birth, but it is Christ death that God wants us to honor. That day is known as Passover, and God has made it clear when to honor it. Easter is also pagan and another day which God has not ordained to be observed. You can find all the days God wants us to honor in the Holy Bible. You just have to look for them.
Go on the web and do a search on the history of Christmas and Easter. You will find out their real names as well.
Most people will say, “Do as you please.” I would rather please God.
