Keep in mind that all holidays have a bit of made up to them. Almost all Christian holidays were made to coincide with pagan holidays as a recruiting tool way back when.

Yes, but they weren't made up in 1966!

In reality Jesus was probably born during the summer, it was dry enough to travel to pay their taxes to the Romans... which is what Mary and Joseph were on their way to do, the Inn was full because of all the others going to pay their taxes too.

at least thats what I hear =o)
