Really? I always heard it was February/March?? All the research I've seen speculated that Jesus was in fact a Pisces......
But, in any event he wasnt born in December. The Early Church co-opted a pagan mid-winter celebration and called it Christmas. Same thing with Easter and many of the traditions connected with it.
