You are right about the HOUSE. In Luke he used the Greek word for INN. Mary and Joseph more than likely had family there and for privacy, they let them use the barn for birth. The jewish people took care of each other. I hear one historian say that there were not any motels or hotels back then.
Jesse Jackson is dangerous and anyone with a mind larger than a pea should be able to see right thru him.

Or they decided to settle there for a while which is what I always thought. The wise showed up anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years later. Remember they had created a scandal back in Nazareth what with the baby coming early and all.
Also traveling with a newborn would have been a major pain.
