More than likley not. It's like asking how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? One will never know for sure.
"When was Jesus born?
Gerd Theissen and Annette Merz write, "There is no certain indication of the precise year of his birth. Certainly Matthew and Luke agree in attesting that Jesus was born in the lifetime of Herod the Great (Matt. 2.1ff.; Luke 1.5), i.e. according to Josephus (Antt. 17, 167, 213; BJ 2, 10) before the spring of 4 BC. This is certainly probable, but there is some dispute over it, as doubts about the reliability of the chronological information in both the Matthean and Lukan infancy narratives is justified" (The Historical Jesus: A Comprehensive Guide, Fortress Press: Minneapolis, 1998: page 153).
Luke 2:1 connects the birth of Jesus to the census of Quirinius, which took place in AD 6 according to Josephus (Wars of the Jews 2.117f., 7.253; Antiquities 17.355, 18.1ff.). Emil Schürer regards this as a chronological error in Luke.
Some have attempted to make a more precise determination of Jesus' birthdate by correlating the magi's star (Matthew 2:2) with astronomical phenomena; however, Matthew 2 describes a miraculous travelling star, which does not fit into known astronomical categories, and such theories have commanded no wide assent." |

No, that's just the date that was chosen to celebrate it. |

yes. That's why, Dawn French, in the Vicar of Dibly, wears a waistcoat with a picture of Jesus on the back saying "It's my birthday", at Christmas. |

NO.
A biblical account tells us that when Jesus was born, there were shepherds in the fields(maybe that's why the mangers are empty). Therefore, it can't be winter. |

No he wasn't. He was probably born sometime in April or May. |

It still is a very big MIGHT BE.
His real birth date is not known, and very unfortunately it can not be verified.
The different calculations, mostly based on John the Baptist's birth (Jesus was born six months from him), arrive at different dates between August 15th to January 6th.
At least, as early as 3rd century A.D., Jesus' birth was celebrated on December 25 in Rome. But, other cities had other traditional dates. |
