Surprisingly, no one was named after Jesus or some other biblical name except for Sir Isaac. Of course, we all know that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. That day was only designated by some religious powers in the early times.

In a Christian country like the Philippines, those born on Christmas day are famous in schools, in workplace and in their communities. They’re mostly named, Jose, Jesus, or anything similar to it. Along with fame, they also carry the burden of living a life worthy of the true celebrant of Christmas.
