All Ages Was Jesus born on December 24 really?

The Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us a sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December. Specifically, it was written in the Bible that when Jesus was born that there were "shepherds in the fields tending their flocks on the night" (Luke 2:8-12). Take note that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night. Does that description of outdoor living fit the chilly and rainy weather conditions of Bethlehem in December? No, it does not.
 
Jesus is the light of the world that has come on earth. Those who follow him will never walk in darkness. But shall have the light of life.
 
Jesus came to save his own people the Israelites. Yet his own people received him not. But whoever believes on him will not perish but have eternal life.
 
I believe that the birth of the Lord Jesus was a promise that was fulfilled by God. He remembered his promise to his children.
 
Most people assume Jesus was born on Dec. 25. After all, that's the date celebrated throughout the world as the day of His birth. A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that Dec. 25 is an unlikely date for Christ's birth.
