Actually, most historians place JC's real birth date in March, 3 to possibly 16 years before 0 B.C. The there are two reasons why the dates vary so hugely.
1) Emperor Constantine, who legalised Christianity in Rome, set the dates on Christs Birth as the exact same as that of the Persian god Mithras. (Hence why we celebrate Christmas on December 25th)
2) During the dark ages, in around the 10th century, a monk tried to determine the exact year (as all records up to that point had basically been destroyed), he was out by a few years and so the exact year of Christs Birth is still a mystery (many put it at around 4B.C.)
