No, just speaking the truth. First off, there was nothing to tax in dead of winter, no crops, no young animals being born (that happens in spring and summer). Next, the myth says Miriam (proper spelling( was, "Great With Child". Yosef (proper spelling) supposedly put her on the back a donkey for a Ninety Mile (145km) trip. No Woman in her Eighth or Nineth month would done such thing. That is distance they traveled according to the holy myth book. Yosef would never have put his wife through a journey. Next, in winter Romans stayed in their winter quarters and did not go around imposing taxes they knew they could collect until the spring.
The Feast of the Nativity (original name of the holiday) was stolen from the Pagan's (Yule). But then again Easter (Eostre or Ostara). The Birth Myth is a lie. The bible is lie.
