Although I suspect this isn't what you were looking for, according to scripture Jesus came "in the fullness of time," which is to say, when everything was prepared and ready for God's mighty act of salvation in Christ Jesus. On a more local focus, no one knows when Jesus was born. There are suggestions that it may have been in the spring, but those guesses can only be made based on assumptions about other things. One of those is that the star seen by the wise men had been a comet, so scientists programmed a computer to search the skies around AD 0000. They came up with Jesus being born in 4 BC! (I find that amusing.) It is also fairly certain that Jesus was not born on December 25, 0000. Because no one knows when he was born, the church established December 25 as a day to celebrate his birth. That date was chosen by the western church because it was a festival day for pagans, and missionaries found it more productive to "baptize" a date already being used to celebrate light and life, than to try to create something else from whole cloth (so to speak). Eastern churches actually celebrate Christmas on January 6.
