  1. You're mostly right, at least on this line of thinking. There's no way to reconcile both versions, and the shepherd version def. doesn't take place in Dec. It's all a work of propoganda--like every old world story, they need to establish divinity in line with traditions that their audience would accept. So they take motifs that already exist, one links jesus to David (elite jews?) and the other adopts Moses story (which follows common Mesopotamian messianic template).
