I like Matthew’s version best. I'll go with that one.

After all, Matthew alone had the courage to reveal that zombies walked the streets of Jerusalem after the crucifiction.

Matthew 27:52-53:

The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Because Matthew obviously wasn't prone to making shit up, I believe that Matthew’s account of the nativity is probably the right one, and that Luke was delusional.

*snirk*
