Happy Christmas. Peace and goodwill to all.

Perhaps the most retold story in history and undoubtedly the oldest and most well known of all the Christmas newsletters. The traditional nativity story presented in primary schools is certainly contentious and scholars would generally agree lacking the accuracy of the chronology of events. However it is worth remembering that historians have evidence for the census, Quirinius and Herod the Great and his massacre of children. It is ironic that this date, upon which our entire calendar hangs is almost certainly not "year zero" but probably 4BC.
