“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Luke, II

Merry Christmas from Australia.
It has been a busy year for our household. We had visitors from Christmas Eve through to Boxing day. We saw my father-in-law, my son and his wife who were with us until I took them to the airport for their flight to New Zealand. The other 3 guests were my other sons, plus a girlfriend of the younger son.
