Smile, tell it like it is! I always imagined that it wasn't so pleasant of a trip. Besides, newly formed historical links say they were doing the census in Nazareth anyway, so why did they travel to Beth...? When I was a kid, my cousin and brother and I used to make a play out of the birth of Jesus, using a stuffed animal for the baby in a doll's cradle, wearing a church veil for Mary, using my aunt's statues to represent 3 wise men...We were fun and oh so serious at the same time.
