Rudolph, Santa, Christmas trees, the Grinch? The real Christmas story has been lost to fantasy. In this episode, Brian interviews "Dr. History," Charlie Self, a man with Ph.D.'s in history and theology. Who was Mary and was she really a virgin? Is Jesus an authentic historical figure? Who were the wise men and where did they come from? Did King Herod really kill all children under two in an effort to eliminate the promised Messiah of Israel?

These important questions and so many more are addressed in this special edition of the Brian Sussman Show.
