A Modern Story About Christmas with a Happy Ending
Rebecca and Benjamin, a young couple, were touring the Holy Land over the Christmas holiday period and decided it would be very meaningful to them to spend Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus.
When they arrived they searched high and low all day for a room for that night. Finally Rebecca and Benjamin drove to the plush and rather expensive 'Intercontinental Hotel' in Bethlehem.
'I'll pop in and see what I can do,' said Benjamin feigning confidence for his, now exhausted, young wife.
Benjamin approached the desk and the receptionist told him there were no rooms in the hotel and probably no rooms in the whole of Bethlehem. 'Sorry, sir. It's Christmas Eve, it's probably our busiest time.'
No matter how much Benjamin offered to pay, the receptionist still replied that said he had no available rooms.
Finally, Benjamin said, 'I bet if I told you my name was Joseph, that the woman waiting in the car was called Mary, and that she had a newborn infant, you'd find us a room for the night.'
'Er....well,' stammered the receptionist, 'I.....I suppose, in that case, I would.'
'OK, then,' said Benjamin determinedly. 'I guarantee you, they're not coming tonight, so we'll take their room.'
