Here you go, Rog. I left the tinsel on just for you! ===[&&WCF&&]===

Wayward he-man in Toronto is bad news for seasonal pair (2,4,2,3,3)

No room at the inn (Anagram of He-man in Toronto) - The seasonal couple no doubt being Mary and Joseph.

Fitting you should get that one, shroeder!

Winging its way to the North Island... ===[&&WCF&&]===

Thanks Mr Worrier.

It arrived with some tinsel damage so I've replaced that with flowers from the New Zealand Christmas Tree (The Pohutakawa)

Keeping with the Christmas theme...

Counter of heads exalted us (8)

OK.... Clue time.

The direct is at the start and it relates directly to the Christmas story

I seem to remember that Herod used a census as a way of checking male children in his hunt for Jesus, but that is as far as I can get...

Hi Lex. You're definitely looking in the right direction but maybe you should look at...

Clue 2:

Luke 2!

I think it was Caesar Augustus who ordered the census and that's what brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Since Augustus has 8 letters, I'm going with that.

Augustus. And that's my final answer!

Well done Sherlock

Exalted = august + us

Direct = Counter of heads

Here's the prize ===[@@WCF@@]===

Thank you, shroeder!

Being atheist, I felt guilty searching such a topic
