I haven't really posted on Christmas this year, unless you want to count posts on the disappointing 2025 film The Carpenter's Son. I suppose we can count this one on Coptic magical infancy Christian apocrypha too. Otherwise, such Christmas stories that I've seen are recyclings of old ones that come up every year.
But just to make sure they are covered too, here are some old posts on perennial Christmas subjects. Each has plenty of links to follow.
Where was Jesus born?
The year Jesus was born (?) was quite a year
The Star of Bethlehem and ancient astronomy
On Matthew's Magi
Apocryphal Christmas again
Has Santa's coffin been found?
How did December 25th become Christmas?
I think that about covers it.
For posts of Christmases past, see my 2024 Christmas post and links.
