The Nativity is one of the best-known stories of all time, but there are some weird parts to the original tale that often get overlooked. What's more, there are a bunch of non-Christian elements, like gifts, trees, and mistletoe, that were originally pagan customs.
What was the first Christmas actually like? And where do all the unusual traditions come from? In this video, we'll investigate the Christmas story as depicted in the Bible, and explore the many nuances and misunderstandings of the original text. Of course, no one can ever be truly "Bible Accurate", so note that these depictions are entirely subjective.
However you celebrate this period, or don’t celebrate it at all, I wish you peace and happiness in whatever you get up to.
