As far as we know, in private homes, although I am sure that anywhere water was available they could have used that for baptism. I'm sure that the Jordon has always been favored, to this day Baptismal water must be blessed UNLESS it is from the Jordon, then it is already considered blessed as it was the stream in which Our Blessed Lord was baptized.

Why do christians celebrate Christmas on 25 dec if there is proof that Jesus was born in April?
There is no real proof that Jesus was born in April. Many point to the shepherds in the field that is inconclusive as shepherds can be in the field whenever they like. The reason Christians celebrate in December was an early syncronism (lining up two religions) with a pagan festival. God is all about redeeming and early christians did that. They took a pagan holiday and gave it christian meaning. They redeemed it and made it christian.
Why are people baptized in a Church?
This is a fairly short answer to a very complicated question. First, let's assume we are talking about water baptism. Some Christians talk about spirit baptism. That is a whole other complicated issue. Three main views on water baptism would include: 1. Water Baptism is part of regeneration. That is, baptism is part of the salvation experience. Without this ritual, one cannot be with God. 2. Water Baptism is a purveyor of grace. Baptism may not save or be part of the salvation experience in the strictest sense, but God gives sacramental grace for the action. 3. Water Baptism is an act of identification. When one decides to follow Christ one publically carries out baptism as a way of identifying with Christ and the church. The first two of these would focus on baptism as a spiritual ritual. The third would focus on baptism as a symbolic ritual. The early church practiced two main rituals. These were Baptism and Eucharist (or Lord's Supper). Some Christian groups have added more over the centuries. There may be other views (especially as one broadens one's definition of Christian), but this is a start.
When was the first Christmas after Jesus was born celebrated?
The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas. Many parts of the celebration of Christmas were originally from pagan religions, and were celebrated by non-Christians. In around 300 AD, the celebration of Christmas became a Roman Catholic holiday, and gradually thereafter was accepted by Protestants also. Even many early settlers in the colonies which became the US did not celebrate Christmas because they saw it as a pagan holiday. It was not seen by these Christians as having anything to do with Christ.
Why was Confirmation created?
Our Blessed Lord gave us seven sacraments, three of these are the "sacraments of initiation." They are Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist. Confirmation is the "second half" of Baptism, if you will, it completes Baptism, and in the early Church was always given together with Baptism. It is still given at the same time in all Rites of the Church except the Latin Rite. In the Latin Rite is is deferred until an age determined by the Bishop, usually between 12 and 16. The "why" is because Our Blessed Lord gave it to us.

Why were some Romans unnerved by practices of early christians?
The apostles as they preached the word also taught the communion with God in the body and blood of Christ. As they learned it themselves from Jesus, they announced "the body of Christ" and "the blood of Christ" as the Eucharist and wine were passed. This caused some Romans to believe that Christians ate their God !
