And you. White wool is so last century. Positively pre-Christian, in fact. Come here.
A quick rummage under her robes produces not a hip-flask, but a couple of packets of purple hair dye. She waggles them menacingly sheep-wards.

Stamps her foot, narrowly missing a sheep-pat.
But there should be torment. And preferably untold misery and suffering. And appropriately liturgically coloured sheep.
Besides, you can't remember what we were suppossed to be telling them, either.

So someone had a dream, and it involved all manner of odd things and unbelieveable tales. that's good but how does it involve the thick shepherds?

Listen. You've all got to go to Bethlehem, and see a baby, and give us presents. Preferably ones that aren't sheep.
