CHRISTMAS TREE
"Mr.
John, I hope you understand I believe all this is a myth and didn't really
happen," said Judy.
"I don't suppose you'd believe an eye-witness report would you?" responded Brother John.
"What was that, Mr. John. I was listening to that song. It was one of Mom's favorites," said Judy.
"Nothing important. Let's listen to the beautiful

those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken
of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to
Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line
of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married
to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn,![]()
a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.
