Wow, the ellipsograph describes a beautiful geometric move however, and there was a couplet from Ovid that begged inclusion!
As a matter of interest regarding St. Francis and the following extract from this article:

On 24 December 1223, he organised a midnight mass that included a re-enactment of the event, with villagers playing the parts of Mary and Joseph and a rag doll as baby Jesus. St Francis even brought along an ox and a donkey to complete the image of Jesus being born in a barn. The aim was to educate and inspire the villagers of Greccio about the celebration of Christmas – not just as a historical event, but as something real they could imagine and believe in.

There’s some debate as to the actual circumstance of birth, many think it was a house, most likely a well tenanted one.
Went ahead and purchased two of these Elevated Trampoline Hammock Beds – the young dog is sure to appreciate the Oxford fabric, the old dog, well, he may not like the idea of having to climb into one. 😛
