Decree
By the order of his Royal Majesty, the Emperor, it is decreed that all the world is to be counted and taxed. Therefore, let each person and family come for “A Night in Bethlehem,” to be taxed according to law.
Everyone shall dress in “Biblical” attire to enter the city .
Bring a blanket for your family to rest from their long journey. You may find that the Inn is full and reserved for the wise. (Chairs for those in need.)
Each family will be assessed taxes. So bring 2 cans of food to be ready to pay.
A supper will be available in the open market.
All taxing will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.
Those found disobeying this law will be sentenced to a holiday season without the true spirit of Christmas.
