2 months before December. This sounds odd and unnatural to me.
I'd ask you whether you meant October or September.

No.

You need past tense and a specific day, but of course the best option is to state your birthday.

I was born two months before Christmas Day. I was born on October 25.
I was born two months before New Year's Eve. I was born on October 31.

CliveOctober or September.
It beats me how September could be two months before December.

I tried to think of what would be two full months before 1st. December.
That suggested 30/September as a possibility..

I was just trying to squeeze a meaning out of what is an odd sentence.
