I'm a firm believer His birth was not in December as much by how the
tradition of celebration on 25 December came about:
"Jesus was most likely not born the 25th of December. He was probably
born in the fall. That was a date that was adopted by the church
because it was the winter solstice and it was already a popular holiday
in the Roman Empire. So the date for the 25th of December was really
adopted from the pagans."

And, now a Most Sincere Happy New Year to all you TDE'rs who follow
the Gregorian calendar. (WARNING! Thread drift!!)
