Gomer goes full rabbi and explains to Stephen the Jewish roots of Christmas found in the books of 1st & 2nd Maccabees. This episode makes your head spin faster than a dreidel - from Luther removing key books of the bible, to Alexander the Great's conquests, to King Herod being a paranoid jerk. It all comes to a mind blowing conclusion in the Bethlehem. L'Chaim Catholics!
