The exact day is not recorded - the month is known from the time that the census' were being done, which is what brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem. But the Hebrew calendar is lunar, so the dates move - even if we did know it, it would not work as a dated holiday per our calendar - it would drift around based on the lunar calendar like the Jewish holidays do and Easter does. That is what also makes it hard to track things and translate their times to our, though the seasons translate just fine.

If by Christ you are referring to the Messiah, our best estimates are that he will arrive (not get born) in about another 300 years, which according to Biblical Calender reckoning is in the year 6000 (from the first day of Creation). Kabblah contains great truths.

There are estimates of April and estimates of September and everything else in between. No one knows for sure.

It's fairly certain there were no shepherds sleeping in the fields in mid-winter December. Possibly September, but what does it matter?

Actually, facts point toward late September, but the exact date is unknown
