Well, since it’s an appallingly warm July, let’s talk Christmas.
The events of the nativity/birth of Jesus is authoritatively covered by four chapters in the gospels: Luke 1, Luke 2, Matthew 1, and Matthew 2.
There is also a “5th Gospel” apocryphal version which most Christians intuitively know, which blends (and adds!) to the story, which most Christmas imagery and celebrations reflect.
Anyway, the question for discussion is:
What are plot holes in the Nativity/Christmas story?
Out of consideration for good discussion… instead of posting a thesis-length list of plot holes… consider posting them as separate posts. That way people can address a single point in discussion, and other points you raise don’t get lost, but get their own conversation.
Also… silly Christmas memes very welcome.
