The Gospels of Matthew and Luke each has a visitor to the baby Jesus in order to worship him.
Matthew has the magi ('wise men') follow a star to worship Jesus and bring him gifts.
In keeping with its theme of poverty, Luke has poor shepherds visit Jesus to worship him. The shepherds knew nothing of the star that Matthew has the magi follow, but were instead told of Jesus' birth by angels.

Is it possible for Jesus to have been born during the winter?
A:Many children are born during the winter. Luke's Gospel qualifies this, because it talks of shepherds watching their flocks at night, out in the open pastures. It has been pointed out that shepherds would never have kept their sheep outside at night time in the winter, thus ruling out Jesus having been born in winter. However, the story of the shepherds finding Jesus in a manger is only in Luke's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel has an entirely different nativity story in which Bethlehem is the home town of Mary and Joseph, so Jesus is born in a house, not a stable. The shepherds do not visit Jesus in Matthew, so he could have been born at any time of the year.
