Though, this is thought-provoking, it might not be so scientifically done. Despite what is presented in the excerpt about taxation period most of the Roman taxes were collected around the New Year (Roman Calendar). Therefore, Jesus could have been born sometime in December

On his birthday, of course! ;-P

Seriously, I was always struck by the high school planetarium trip where they discussed the historical trail of evidence that he was actually born in June. The December holiday was supposedly chosen so that the christian celebration of Christ’s birth would go unnoticed due to the drunken festival of the Romans.

But, because I’m getting old (LOL), I have to admit the details on their evidence is pretty fuzzy at this point.
