Sadly many youngster would have no idea. I heard a Mum telling her 5 year old that God was an imaginary friend for grown-ups. As for the date of His birth what does it matter? Many refugees I’ve worked with have their birthdate written down as January 1st as in war torn countries official records are often lost.
Good question. Jesus was born in the Spring, not in winter. Even today, sheep are not on the mountain in the middle of winter. Remember the shepherds keeping their flocks? That is in springtime. Jesus was born 2019 years ago, plus or minus 3 years (due to which calendar one uses.) St. Nicholas was born March 15, 270 AD.
