Plenty of Room at Inn for Mary and Joseph
LONDON (Reuters) - A British hotel chain is offering couples called Mary and Joseph a free night's stay over Christmas.
"We are trying to make up for the hotel industry not having any rooms left on Christmas Eve 2004 years ago," said Sandy Leckie, manager of the Travelodge hotel in London's Covent Garden.
"Our hotel is definitely more comfortable than a stable. I just hope they don't bring their donkey," he said.
But the offer has just one proviso -- the couples have to produce identification showing their names.
