Jesus' birth is discussed in the Bible.
The specific date is not mentioned.
Cordially,

The actual date of his birth is not in the Bible. The details of his birth are clearly in the bible and you should read it to your children so they know and understand it.
The actual date picked for Christmas was done hundreds of years ago by scholars. It is generally thought that the date of Dec. 25 was picked because a pagan holiday was on the winter solice which was practiced on or about this date.
When missionaries changed people from the pagan religions to Christianity, they still practiced the pagan holiday in December so the celebration of Christ's birthday was put at this time.
When I visited Israel I was told by our guide that Christ's birthday probably is in April sometime. Scholars differ on the exact date. Unfortunately the date was not written down, most likely because dates where no important as they are now.

You wont lie to your kids, will you?
Tell them the truth that CHRISTMAS IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS
You know the Fatman is a fake and a fat, white lie, but you go along with it anyway, as you deceive the kids and make them future liars to their own kids.
The Dictionary of the Bible says that: By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World.
Fact is - the Sun God is Zeus, and Jesus is really Jezeus, and the Romans worshipped Zeus, and you can see Barnabas being called Zeus by the Priests of Zeus in the Acts of the Apostles 14:12-13, in the Bible. Mithra was another son of Zeus, but Je-Zeus was Zeus come down as his own son, which made him strictly a Roman God.
Sunday is also the day that was set aside for worship of the Sun God (Zeus) by the Romans.
The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, December 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God of the Sun risen from the dead.
Zeus and the Fathers of Christianity did not know there was a Southern Hemisphere that did not share the Sun God Zeus or his four seasons, or his twelve disciples or twelve months of the year with the Northern Hemisphere, and it is for this reason that Australia celebrates Christmas twice each year, with the White Christmas falling in June but is called Christmas in July since they know it is a lie.
So Christmas and Christianity were as ignorant of the nature of the Planet as was Santa Claus of the South Pole, and just as the Pope was afraid that Christopher Columbus might fall off the flat Planet in his attempt to reach India traveling westwards, so were Santa Claus and Zeus afraid to go below the Planet and into the Fires of Hell.
When Pope John Paul ii declared the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake after having it scientifically carbon-dated in 1988, he failed to point out that the Bible describes the use of two shrouds, with one for the head and another for the “body” of the 100 lbs of aloes and myrrh, the other perfect hoax.
TRY SOME HONESTY THIS YEAR.
EXPOSE THE FRAUD OF SANTA THE UNHOLY.
BRING THE TRUTH OF THE MESSIAH FROM THE QURAN TO LIGHT SO THAT MEN WHO ARE BORN BLIND MIGHT SEE THAT THE ONE TRUE GOD CAN HAVE NO SON OR NO PARTNER
.
HE IS ONE, HE ALWAYS WAS, HE IS, AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!
PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL OF HUMANITY!

There is actual reason to believe that jesus was born a few months before christmas, but for some reason we use 25th dec as a celebration of his birth. Although this is never been proven, the truth is no-one knows for sure when his birthday was, but I would tell my kids that christmas day is his brithday as after all that is what it represents.

neither Jesus or any of the 1st Century Christians celebrated birthdays... the only 2 birthday celebrations that are recorded in the Bible were occasions noted by the murders that took place at them. Christmas (Dec 25) could not be the date that Jesus was born because of what was happening at that time. eg: Shepherds were outdoors with their flocks

Jesus' conception and birth are mentioned in the Bible. It was around the time that the census was being taken and all of the Jews had to go back to their ancestral city to register for this. It is estimated that this was in the late summer early fall. The church took December 25 as Jesus' official b-day because they needed a holiday that occured around the winter solstice.

Jesus had a birthday ,we just don't know exactly when so if we have it at the winter solstice who gives a crap?How about Feb.2nd is that OK?Who cares when it is as long as we honor it.I usually have a small devotion and read the 1rst chapters of Matthew and Luke(up thru 4)and then enjoy all the Santa Claus stuff,lights and Ho Ho Ho ,pass the presents and the Turkey.

I told myself the truth,a long time ago.
JESUS is real,He is the son of GOD.
Jesus WAS NOT,born on the 25 december.
The Star has been corellated,between,March and April.(Israel sheep are kept in pasture at this time of the year)
The 25th of December,is the day of the least light,in our Northern hemisphere(or in and around these 7 days)
December is an end of the Winter/the begining of the light days ,which bring us back to Spring.
The celebration of December is a celebration of renewal(to think again of growing food,for your family).
Jesus was born at a time of that renewal,not at a time of hopeing for a renewal.
Jesus also died,March/April,(EASTER) to show the constant,renewal,of all nature,and that,just like GOD meant it to be,nothing can die,all things are renewed by GOD.
December 25,is the last of the dark nights and the truth of the return of Spring.
I am sorry but i belive in Santa also,but it is not the birthday of our SAVIOUR.
P.S Blame the churches/rome/aka-emperor constantine.

There actually is no set day in the Bible, sorry to say. I think of it as this: if you were born in an era/country/whatever, and did not know your own birthday, one would probably be assigned to you. It isn't the EXACT day that is special, it is the rememberance of that day and what it represents (whether it be Jesus' birthday or your own!) Hope this helps.

If you mean is Dec. 25 really Jesus' birthday, the answer is no. It is, however, the day we celebrate it. Think of it like presidents day. We celebrate 2 presidents' birthdays on that day, but it certainly isn't the day they were actually born.

There is nothing in the bible that indicates Dec 25 as Jesus birthday. The early church chose that day because it was being celebrated by pagans.
