God inspired New Testament writers to record
who was king (Mat 2.1) and who was emperor and governor (Luk 2.1-2) thus giving us a general time-window. When exactly was Christ born? No one knows. Period. God did not inspire the recording of a month nor a day. As believers we know He WAS born; that is terribly important. His was the greatest birth known to earth but the actual date is a mystery and therefore was not important enough for God to make it clear to us.
His birth is similar to His next coming “…ye know neither the day nor the hour…” (Mat 25.13).
