"The retelling is hazy- half allegory, half myth. It may have been, in fact that it was a custom of the nation that the animals were taken in to family homes and inns just for such a purpose, to keep warmth there. What began as legends about a birth surrounded by animals became confused, mistranslated, interpreted and explained as taking place in a barnlike setting. This is religion we're talking about."
