     On Saturday December 20, after registering for the census and paying their taxes, people made their way to the World Famous Bethlehem Inn for Breakfast. There were Shepherds, Roman Gaurds, a Bread Seller, and many visitors to Bethehem present. The Innkeeper and his Wife greeted all warmly. Their excellent cook and wait staff served a great breakfast.
One couple, Joseph and Mary who had travelled from Nazareth in Gallilee, were of special interest to the patrons as Mary was expecting and it appeared her due date was soon. The Town being full of people for the census, there was not room for them. The two bedded down in the Innkeepers stable. Many among us were worried about them staying there in her condition. But our worries were unfounded. We heard later that she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy who they named Jesus.
