1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

How much should I give to the church?

In the Old Testament God commanded His people give 10%.

Leviticus 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.

Leviticus 27:32 Every tithe of the herd and flock - every tenth animal that passes under the shephard's rod - will be holy to the lord. A tithe is 10%.

The New Testament does not give instruction of how much to give but states in what manner to give:

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Where does the Bible say Jesus was born on December 25?

The birth of Christ is recorded in the New Testament in Luke chapter 2. The actual date of Christ's birth was never recorded so we can only estimate the time of year according to events that happened at the time of Christ's birth. Although we may not know the exact day Jesus was born, there is sufficient evidence that he was born. The good news was not a secret,but widely announced by angels.

Good News for all humanity:

Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11 NKJV
