There are lots of supposed dates for the millennium. First of all, as
there was no year zero, the 2000th year will be Jan 1st 2001, not 2000.
Secondly, Christ's birthday was probably not December 25th anyway, nor
January 1st. Thirdly, in our dating system, wasn't he born in 4BC
anyway, making the millennial year 1996 or 1997 if we exclude the non-
existent zero year? Also, who says that our calendar is the correct one?
We are several centuries away from the millennium in the Jewish
calendar, for example.

I think 2000 is just a big, round number and an excuse for a party.
