Foilsíodh leaganacha d’fhormhór na scéalta seo i gcolún an údair ‘Crobhingne’ san Irish Times aimsir na Nollag le fiche bliain anuas.Is geall le fabhalscéalta nó athinsintí samhlaíocha iad ar a bhfuil sa Bhíobla, nó neachtar acu, eachtraí atá bunaithe ar thomhaltachas Nollaig na linne seo. Scéal níos faide is ea ‘Lá Breithe’ ar óige Íosa nach bhfuil aon leagan de le fáil sa Tiomna Nua in aon chor, in aon chor.
Versions of most of these stories were published in the author’s column ‘Crobhingne’ in the Irish Times at Christmas time for the past twenty years. They are a bet on fables or imaginative retellings of what is in the Bible, or one of them, events based on Christmas consumerism of today. ‘The Nativity’ is a longer story about Jesus’ childhood, of which there is no version to be found in the New Testament at all, at all.
