I think it might be time for a little karaoke. (Sings, to "The Sound of Music" )(well it is meant to be a family play)
"The hills are alive to the sound of angels
Yes, we've done our job
And proclaimed his birth!
The booze fills my heart with a sense of longing
To get quite drunk
And full of mirth."

Well-sozzled, again
I expects this pub is like fairy gold - it'll be gone in the morning!
Right now, I needs my sleep!
Take over, other time-zone shepherds. Take note of what the shiny ladies say - they must be sent from heaven if they bear real ale (I'll overlook the frosty lager for once).

(Angel 3 looks about contentedly) Well, another enjoyable evening. I may open a restuarant to go with the pub.
(To the Stable Cat and anyone else still standing.)
I was at an amusing party at Herod's recently. You know, there's a bit of good in everyone. Take that Evil Henchman - looks like a cat shaving madman, but makes a good Sakatini. So glad to see your fur's grown back, puss.
(Tickles the Stable Cat under the chin.)

Right. It's been a good night. One of the heavenly host corrupted. Stage manager made over, and a sheep dyed liturgical purple.

Jesus Christ! (as it were.)
(Having neglected to turn in Flaming Sword at end of Garden of Eden Entrance duty, takes flat of it to fallen angels, dim-witted shepherds and totally thick sheep, singeing and scattering same. Hands a bottle of rather nice red wine to Jedi Knight, pulls out a glass of Courvoisier, and has a drink.)
Honestly. What ARE you alleged angels thinking? What a disgusting spectacle.
(Gathers idiot shepherds back together, ditto Angelic Host, leads in the Big Messiah Scene. Has another drink.)

It was very nice of bee_of_good_cheer to put them in, and they do look pretty, but yes, the *jingle jingle* has become annoying.
Why don't we put them in this box, and perhaps Even Lowlier Shepherd (he's very nice, not like the others) can give them as a gift to the baby. I notice that the Baby Jesus liked the one I put in the manger.
