Tux - this probably isn't the answer you want but I truly suspect that most people don't even think about it. Not enough to ask. With the advent of calendars, it's not necessary to remember when anything happens - you just go look it up. I certainly don't bother keeping the Jewish moon cycles in my head, even though I'd still have to visit mum for holidays on occasion. I just look them up on a "secular" calendar and plan accordingly.
That said, I further imagine a priest would choose one or the other to be the "firm" date and say the other was "metaphorical". Technically, both happen on the "same" date, the calendars just don't mesh. As it's Jesus' resurrection that's supposed to be the root of all this hooey, I would continue to imagine that would be the date they call the "important" one, and his birth, though miraculous, is acceptable to be celebrated but not critical.
