If Jesus is the "Son of G-d". . .as an expression which refers to our "sun". ..then the correct day is. . .Sunday.
But all other responses depend on knowing (or speculating) on a birthdate in history, which therefore could give one a day in the week.

Contrary to popular practice, it is not in Dec. Scientists and biblical scholars using the descriptions and time line of governmental happenings in the bible (the Census of King Herod), has traced the possible time of Jesus' birth in about the May/June timeline. The evidence is this: It was the time of lambing (ewes giving birth), There were shepards in the feilds tending flock at night (the winters did not allow that, too darn cold), Herod's annual census took place in early summer. So he was born in the late spring early summer. Modern American Christians celebrate it on Dec. 25. Around the world in other cultures it is on different days.
Coincidentally I am watching a program on Discovery Channel right now about the subject. The Key factors is the star the wise men followed. An astrologer has a coin that depicts a ram looking back at a star. It is an ancient roman coin. He took a computer program and ran it so there was a significant astrological event that happened in the constellation of Aries. The regal star (the planet Jupiter) was a harbinger of a royal birth. The constellation of Aries also fortold of royal birth so when the regal star was in the constellation of Aries it fortold the birth of the king of kings. The date that this happened...April 17 6 BC.

what a shame to see his beleivers say they dont know the date of his birth
Jesus (pbuh) was not born in Bethlehem. He was born in a building about a kilometre south of the Qumran platue. Jesus (pbuh) was born during the reign of high priest Simon Boethus who was in power between 23 to 5 b.c.
then Mary (a.s) went to bethlehem after jesus (pbuh) was born and stayed for few months. but when the people started bad mouthing her about her unmarried child , she finally moved with joseph to nazereth.
Jesus (pbuh) was born on March 1, 7 b.c. In order to regulize his status he was allocated the official birthday of 15 September in line with the Messianic requirment.
It was in a.d. 314 the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great changed the date of Jesus's (pbuh) birthday to December 25. Sad to say this date is still believed by many to be his birthdate.
Constantine had two reasons for making the change. Firstly it separated the Christian celebration from any Jewish association. In doing so Constantine was trying to suggest Jesus (pbuh) was a Christian, not a Jew.

The month and day of Jesus' (pbuh) birthday is also unknown. However, we can be fairly certain that it was not DEC-25.
THE SHEPHERDS: Luke 2:8 mentions that shepherds were living in their fields keeping watch over their flocks during the nighttime (and, one would assume, also during the daytime.) This is a good indication that Jesus' birth did not happen in December when the flocks would have already have been moved from the fields to pens. They were only in the fields during the hotter months. There is a remark in the Talmud that flocks were put out to grass in March and brought in during the beginning of November. During the Jewish month of Heshvan (our October/November) the fall rains hit and the animals are penned up. At best, the passage narrows down the birth month to one of 7 months in the late spring, summer, or early fall.
Hilke Dokter 4 offers three indicators from the Bible that Jesus was born during the month of Tishri (September/October).
The month of Jesus birth can be calculated with reference to the conception of John the Baptist: Luke 1:5 says that John's father, Zacharias, was "a member of the Abijah division of the Temple service corps." (Living Bible)
1 Chronicles 24:15 assigned the priests of the Abijah division to begin temple service at the start of the 9th week of the year. But at the end of the week, Pentecost had begun, so he would have remained on duty until the end of the 10th week.
Luke 1:23-24 records that Zacharias returned immediately to his home, and that John was conceived shortly thereafter - probably during the last half of Sivan, the 3rd month in the Jewish calendar.
Allowing for a normal 9 months pregnancy, John would have been born in the springtime.
Luke 1:36 records that the angel came to Mary when John's mother Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant.
Luke 1:31 reports that Mary conceived very shortly after the angel's visit.
Assuming a normal, 9 month pregnancy, Jesus would have been born about 6 months after John - sometime in the fall of the year

It is important to note that the "December 25th" birthdate only applies to the age and hemisphere in which the winter solstice falls on December 21-24. In other ages, the solstice month is different, changing with the precession of the equinoxes every 2150 years.
The December 25th birthdate is that of the sun, not a "real person," revealing its unoriginality within Christianity and the true nature of the Christian godman. "Christmas" was not incorporated into Christianity until 354 AD/CE. In reality, there is no evidence, no primary sources which show that "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Since he has existed eternally into the past, he has no real birthday (John 1:1-4).
