Nonono, he wanted to tax everyone, so he sent them all to their respective birthplaces so he could count them to be taxed. He had no clue there was any Messiah or anything to be born, yer thinking of Herod. All Cesar was thinking about was getting everyone to their birthplaces, so he would have had the common sense not to set his decree in December, at least in my opinion.
