Is it even possible that December 25 could be
the day of Christ's birth?
History convincingly shows that Dec. 25
was popularized as the date for
Christmas, not because Christ was born on
that day but because it was already
popular in pagan religious celebrations as
the birthday of the sun.
But is it possible that
December 25 could be the day
of Christ's birth?
"Lacking any scriptural pointers to Jesus's
birthday, early Christian teachers
suggested dates all over the calendar.
Clement. . . picked November 18.
Hippolytus . . . figured Christ must have
been born on a Wednesday . . . An
anonymous document[,] believed to have
been written in North Africa around A.D. 243, placed Jesus's birth on
March 28" (Jeffery Sheler, U.S. News & World Report, "In
Search of Christmas," Dec. 23, 1996, p. 58).
A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that Dec. 25
is an unlikely date for Christ's birth. Here are two primary reasons:
First, we know that shepherds were in the fields
watching their flocks at the time of Jesus' birth
( Luke:2:7-8 ). Shepherds were not in the fields during December.
According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of
American Holidays, Luke's account "suggests that Jesus may
have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and
rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for
their flocks at night" (p. 309).
Similarly, The Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary
says this passage argues "against the birth [of Christ] occurring on
Dec. 25 since the weather would not have permitted" shepherds watching
over their flocks in the fields at night.
Second, Jesus' parents came to Bethlehem to
register in a Roman census (Luke:2:1-4 ). Such censuses
were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing
and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions
would have been self-defeating.
Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity,
"the important fact then . . . to get clearly into your head is that the
fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with
paganism" (William Walsh, The Story of Santa Klaus, 1970,
p. 62).
If Jesus Christ wasn't born on December 25, does
the Bible indicate when He was born?
The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely
time of Jesus' birth, based on the conception and birth of John the
Baptist.
Since Elizabeth (John's mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy
when Jesus was conceived ( Luke:1:24-36 ), we can determine the
approximate time of year Jesus was born if we know when John was
born. John's father, Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem
temple during the course of Abijah (Luke:1:5 ). Historical calculations
indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year
( The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix 179, p. 200).
It was during this time of temple service that Zacharias learned that he
and his wife Elizabeth would have a child ( Luke:1:8-13 ). After he
completed his service and traveled home, Elizabeth conceived
( Luke:1:23-24 ). Assuming John's conception took place near the end of
June, adding nine months brings us to the end of March as the most
likely time for John's birth. Adding another six months (the difference
in ages between John and Jesus) brings us to the end of September as
the likely time of Jesus' birth.

yes no one knows the day or year but bible advice the believers how to celebrate a feast in the book of romans.

Romans14:5 One person considers one day more sacred than
another; another considers every day alike. Each of
them should be fully convinced in their own mind.6
Whoever regards one day as special does so to the
Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for
they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does
so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

Bible evidence show God himself celebrate the birth of jesus together with the heavenly host in the book of luke.
