First Christmas (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is suggested by the grid
Wishing you a very merry Christmas! I've attempted some gentle myth-busting in this grid. If you're interested in reading more, check out https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/jesus-was-not-born-in-a-stable-honest/ for a good presentation of the evidence; and I've also spoken about this in a recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afepVJpY4Xg. The answer to the meta is suggested by the grid. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?t=1360&p=77405#p77267
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
