Day 5: Mary and Joseph Travel to Bethlehem
Start using your Christmas Countdown Book on December 1st. Today would be presented on December 5th. There will be a different subject for each day until Christmas Day, December 25th. The purpose of this Christmas Countdown Book is to help you remember and focus on Jesus Christ during the Christmas season!

Scripture
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
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.
Song
O Little Town of Bethlehem, Hymn 208

Ornament
This was a super fun ornament to make. I got the inspiration from shakentogetherlife. It was fairly simple and only required some old fashioned clothespins, hot glue, thin craft wire, and a metallic star sticker.
If you don’t want to make your own, here are some other options:
