holy cow, Jesus is not born in December 25. because this day is called Saturnalia aka sun god reduce daylight, later Catholic priests worrying about pagan people, catholic priest made an idea to convince all pagan people that Jesus was born in December 25. I suggest you to read Encyclopedia about Saturnalia. Saturnalia begins celebrating during December 17 to 24.
Unlike Mardi Gras because Mardi Gras is always start 40 days before Lord's night meal.
y'all have good try that you guess Jesus was born in March. the problem is that Bible does not write when was Jesus born...

No one knows when Jesus was born exactly. The Roman emperor Constantine selected Dec. 25 as the day in the fourth century A.D. trying to resolve a conflict of interest between christianity and another group who believed in another Deity.

my savior was NOT born on Christmas day, Constantine selected this day to appease the pagans. It's a lie.
Who is the father of lies?
John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Since this celebration is based on a lie, the Devil invented it. It cannot be a good thing.
What does the Heavenly Father think of lies?
Proverbs 6:16-19
These six things Yahweh hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

Jesus was probably born some time around April.
In the 5th century A.D. the Catholic church decided to celebrate the Christ Mass in December around the time that the Pagans were celebrating the Yule. This is believed to be to compete with the Pagans. It was inconvenient to have the Christ birth so near to Easter. Most of the traditions of Christmas are actually Pagan, the tree, the fire, etc.

Gee, if they arbitrarily decided on this day, even when their Bible story clearly indicated otherwise, what else might they have decided arbitrarily? No religion of mine.
This also shows the mentality of the religious authorities at the time: either they weren't smart enough to realize the story contradicted this date, or they didn't think anyone else would notice because only the priests could read.

Probably not. I think he was born around March or April.

No. He was born when there were shepherd in the field (between April and October).

No-one knows what date Jesus was born, but this is the day we celebrate His birth.

No. Even Christian theologians admit that he couldn't have been, because of the specific references to shepherds spending the nights in the fields with their flocks. That doesn't happen in late December, because the lambs (not to mention the shepherds) would freeze to death. They go sleep in the fields, even today, in spring.
