Talk 1 of 2 in a series entitled "Christmas for Adults Only".
The naked truth of Christmas, to good to be true and too big to handle.
It's tempting to pat Christmas on the head and say its all about the children but in truth its a horrible story. A young woman had to give birth in an animal shed as the town was booked solid with travellers. The King had ordered people to return to their home towns for a census with a diabolical intent. The young parents and their child had to flee as political refugees because the King ordered the murder of a great number of Jewish boys.
