It could be a cheap Christmas for some of us! Well, those of us who go by the name Mary, Joseph and even Jesus.

This year Travelodge are offering a truly festive offer in their hotels. Couples going by the names; Mary and Joseph, are being offered free hotel rooms this Christmas as are those named Jesus! Rooms are available at the inn from Christmas eve until the twelfth night (January the 6th 2012). Even modern day ‘mangers’ are available in the rooms. A Travelodge spokesman said: “The phrase 'no room at the inn' is renowned within the hotel industry. Therefore, this year we have decided to evoke the true spirit of Christmas and help ease the cost of the festive season and invite couples called Mary and Joseph and for the first time anyone called Jesus as our guests.”

So if you fancy a few free nights at the Travelodge this Christmas, why don’t you dress yourself in our nativity costumes and perhaps you’ll be in with an even better chance of getting a free room!
