As a catholic, I was taught that the birth wasn't in early winter as is 
celebrated, but that "we" hid ourselves by hiding our religous observances 
within the Hebrew calendar.   Just as well,  because it turned out to be 
mighty convenient for the non-fasting season to coincide with the 
summer/fall bounty and the longest fast to coincide with the late 
winter/spring when fresh food is mostly not available and stored foods are 
dwindling.
