Luke 2:1-21
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David smile
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 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.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

AstralSamurai This just in! It was recently discovered by Top Secret MSU Operatives implanted deep within Santa's compound, that Santa Claus, is in fact, a monster. The AstralSamurai, outraged by the turn of events, has decided to come out of retirement for this once in a lifetime event: A Duel with "Saint" Nick in the Snowfields of northern Alberta. Santa was reported as saying, "I'm gunna squash me some monster slayer and turn 'im into soup!" Terms of the challenge have not been agreed upon, but it is safe to assume that this will be a no-holds barred match, and there may or may not be one or more nuclear detonations involved. Stay tuned for the next chapter in Epic Holiday History! eek I call shenanigans on that, or at least this particular "Santa" Back in Saint School he and I were dorm mates at one time, and he also helped me kill Saint Ogre and his nine yipping cobolds. Maybe it is the evil Robot Santa or Robot Santa's Brother, Evil Santa. It may even be both of them. I ask that before you rush to conclusions to let me go and talk to him. If it is indeed him, and he is doing evil, then i would like to be the one to finish him. He is, after all, like family to me. But I think that there is something else afoot, or even ahand. I hope that the old guy is alright. He can take care of himself, but God only knows there are things that even he needs help with.
