Presbyterian beliefs are expressed in writing in what's called The Book of Confessions, but not all Presbyterians are asked to affirm the ones found there - only ordained church officers (elder, deacons, ministers). (Presbyterian church members are asked to affirm Christ as Lord and Savior, accept Him as head of the church, and trust in Him alone). There is no statement as to when Christ was born in the Book of Confessions.
Answer: Presbyterians celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ.

The Watchtower 15th December 1979 page 3 says
''How old was Jesus at his baptism? The Scriptures answer: "Jesus himself, when he commenced his work [right after being baptized], was about thirty years old." (Luke 3:21-23) If we count back 30 years from Jesus' baptism in 29 C.E. (and remember that there is no zero year between the B.C.E. and C.E. periods of reckoning), we find that he was born in 2 B.C.E.
Lending support to this date is the prophecy of the "seventy weeks of years." It indicates that the Messiah would be killed, thus 'causing sacrifice and gift offering to cease' as no longer required, in the middle of the 70th "week." (Dan. 9:27; Rom. 6:14; Heb. 7:26-28) This means that Christ's ministry was three and a half years long. It began at his baptism in 29 C.E. and ended with his death at Passover time in 33 C.E. (Luke 22:7-20) Counting back 33 1/2 years (the length of Jesus' earthly life) also enables us to calculate the year of his birth as being 2 B.C.E.
WHAT ABOUT THE DAY?
As just noted, Jesus died at Passover time, which was about April 1, 33 C.E. (Matt. 26:17-30) Since Christ was about 30 years of age when commencing his work and his ministry was three and a half years long, he was 33 1/2 years old around Passover time, or about April 1, 33 C.E. Christ would have been 34 years of age six months later, or about October 1. Again counting back, we must conclude that Jesus was born, not on December 25, but about October 1, in the year 2 B.C.E''

Why don't Jehovah Witnesses believe in the birth of Christ?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have doubts that Jesus was born. In fact, they are just as thankful he was born as the next person. They dont celebrate his birth, because his death holds more signifigance. Luke chapter 22 verses 19 through 20 gives clear meaning that Jesus was saying to celebrate his death, not his birth. His blood really saved man, not his birth. This question was no doubt asked on the bases that Jehovah's Witnesses do no celebrate Christmas. Contact local witnesses for more information about why they dont celebrate christmas or Jesus' birth.
