Was there no Christmas spirit?

Here's a link to an article I thought was interesting about the Christmas story. It's kind of the short nonfiction version of the Da Vinci Code for Christmas.

I don't know that I know enough to have a meaningful opinion about all this, but on one version of this theory it at least makes sense of the start of the book of Matthew. Without some kind of background theory like this, it just seems strange to spend that much text giving the ancestory of Jesus's step-father.

I doubt it really matters though.
