Innkeeper

The innkeeper who turned away Mary, Joseph, and soon-to-be-born Jesus because his inn was full, always seems to be considered the bad guy in the original Christmas Story. It''s almost as though the audience is ready to "boo" if this guy were on stage ... or maybe he would wear a black hat if he were in a Western.

But the truth is, what else was he supposed to do? Should he have chosen another guest...
