was christ born on christmas day

Yes, according to the Christian tradition, Jesus Christ was born on December 25th, which is now known as Christmas Day. The exact date of Christ's birth is not known, but it is believed that it was likely in the winter, as shepherds were watching over their flocks at night, which only happens during the winter months. The date of December 25th was chosen by early Christians to coincide with the pagan holiday of Saturnalia, which celebrated the winter solstice.
