Was there a stable, who were the Magi and in what season and year was Jesus born? We will trace the Christmas story and find that what is accepted as Gospel is often far from it. We then study the origins and evolution of our Christmas customs including holly, robins, pantomime, crackers and carols before demystifying the figure of Father Christmas/Santa Claus.
