Following up my own post -- a quick Google, as often happens, is enough to
shed light. Apparently this idea of the guest room with the manger has
been around for a while; some of the citations I'm seeing are to papers
from the 1970s and 1980s. Here are a couple of nice summary pages:

I don't this it was obvious. I was told that Jewish custom considered
engagement a promise and therefore no stigma was placed on premarital sex,
so unless Joseph went around telling everyone that the child wasn't his

I've just been having a costume-a-thon at my house (coronation is Saturday
and we have to dress the queen G). As we're sewing we've been watching
movies and of course snarking the costumes.
We watched Kiss Me Kate. My daughter wants the red dress the shrew wore.
It was Hollywood Italian

Plunkett and MacLean was an 18thC movie that used some modern music.
On the one hand it was odd, but we expect background music in movies.
What struck me as odd was that the movie was set mid-century (I think
it said 1740 or 1750 on screen), and a fashion-forward character was
