Hello and welcome to this episode of Stuff We Didn't Get in Sunday School. I'm Erin Moon and joining me as always two people who get into the Christmas spirit by punching her

tics in the face. It's not smokey and Jamie like you say that in a pithy way. It's accurate. I know I know I'm told into it.

Chris is by club. Let's go stuff we didn't get in Sunday school is our episode series where we attempt to shine light on our

physical blind spots and interrogate this knowledge void. You understand why we developed this gap in awareness and whether or not it

changes or challenges the complexion of our beliefs. But before we get to this week's this week, you guys Christmas is one short week away.

And you might be thinking, what if I could give the Bible bench team a gift without spending any money? Well, you can.

A helpful gift for our team is leaving a five star review for us on Apple Podcasts for the Bible bench.

Just let people know what you love about the show. Please leave five stars. Don't be like, I hate it one star. That's not a gift.

That's and we can't return it. So please don't do that. So if you go to noxngedby.com slash Apple podcast or the link in the

show notes, you can leave us a review today. Mary Christmas to us to us. Yeah. All right guys, today we are going to talk about what the

church, what Christians, what we as people of faith get wrong about Christmas. So before we do this, I want to give you guys a

quick pop quiz or some of the easier ones. Okay, these are kind of the ones that like you may have heard in the

site guys before of like things that may or may not be true about Christmas. Is it because you didn't think we

can handle the harder one? No, no, we're going to get to the harder ones. Oh, good. I'm just going to do it. This is fun.

Oh, it's a fun pop quiz. Yeah. Okay. So true or false? When you abbreviate Christmas to exmas, you make baby Jesus cry.

False. I don't know what feels like it's true. I think I'm going to say true. Okay, it's false. Yeah.

And X or Kai in Greek is a common and a well-known ancient abbreviation for Christ. So it's actually the same thing. Baby Jesus is like that's my

nickname. You know me really well. I've heard people say exmas is like x rated in those are bad things. That's not true. Oh, that is just not true. Okay. I mean x rated things can be bad. Yes. In this case, they're not

can go. Okay. True or false? Santa Claus punched a heretic in the face. That's true. And I know that because you taught me that. That's true. That is false. I did not teach you

that. That's a lie. He probably did not. But you can learn more about that in the faith adjacent episode about Santa Claus that we did last year. I

really miss listened to that. I really thought he had punched someone. Let me let me try again. I I pseudo learn that because you talked around that

issue. There you go. I arrived at the incorrect conclusion. There it is. There it is. Okay. All right. True or false. There were three wise men.
