There are arguments that Jesus was born either in April or Sept. But he was DEFINATELY not born in December. From the description of the Harvests etc at the time most scholars would suggest around Sept.
It was winter soltace that was held in december and it was changed to a Christian holiday so that converting Pagans to Christianity wasn't too difficult-they still had the same festivals etc just a different meaning behind them.

Jesus wasn't born at Christmas, Christmas is a Pagan festival to do with winter solstice.

Are you the same person who question why all the Civil War battles happened at National Parks? Why there were no bullet holes in the statues? Jewish calendar conversion program, he was born on Saturday, Sept. 30, 1 B.C. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

He obviously wasn't born at Christmas, because then he would have been called Noel or Rudolph or something!
The real story (boring I know) is that he was probably born around September, but December is the darkest month and therefore the date was chosen as symbolic of him arriving at a dark time for the Jews and humanity. Told you it was boring...

Her is you answer. As luck would have it, amazingly enough it mysteriously appeared when I ran a google search. You know "search engine" that thing people used before they got so lazy asking questions that have professional legitimate answers to all over the web. *rolls eyes and walks away shaking head back and fourth*

he was born in june, or what would have been june now as the calendar has gone through a few changes since then,
and why is it when we have hot sunny weather in the summer people say its been a great summer but when its snowy and icy in the winter they say its a terrible winter, no it isnt its supposed to be like that so its good.
happy hannukka.

You know it just might be - he was pretty good at doing things during the holidays - like when he died it was Easter. Must have been terrible for his parents and friends being a bank holiday dont you think xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He wasn't. He was born in the summer and the Christians took the pagan's winter solstice to celebrate their 'Christmas'.
