Right, Rudolph. Could you and your chums help to herd the shepherds? Thanks ever so!
Mary, should I nudge Joseph with the Flaming Sword? That usually has a salutary effect on things like nappy-changing willingness.

Something about being King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Chief. Or, at least I think that's what they said before they started up with those Hallelujas.

In the nick of time! We were just going to run them through the thrift shop. Anything will do, as long as it's clean.

Here you go. I've lost track of shepherds, so here are 6 tunics, 6 robes, 6 tea towels, and some string. You folks will have to sort out who gets which bits.

One more word along those lines, and it's off to Herod with you. I hear his children are ready for a new plaything.

Good show, Sheep 3! Keep it up!
And I think Mary could use a bit of help in getting Joseph to do his daddy duty, if there's anyone in the flock to spare for a minute or two.

The people's flag is palest pink
And not as red as you might think!
We go on strike to raise the wage
Of shepherd, ass and even mage!
Our lowly work we hold most dear
A crowd of angels brings us cheer!

Ah, Fairy Godmother... just the person...
Perhaps you could be of assistance with the babies for a minute.
Joseph seems to have.... left the stable for a moment.
Do the twins a quick nappy change, there's a love!
Just wait till I get my hands on that husband of mine!

Me nappies? Is this in the script?
I wondered what that awful pong was - just thought it was the drains blocked.
Ok - Pampers? Baby wipes? Talc?

Ah, Joseph... a timely entrance!

We will have words about that later, my love.
Once you've helped the Fairy Godmother change the babies' nappies.
It'll be a bonding experience!

Angel 6 produces the necessary equipment -- all of the above, plus a little Dutch courage -- handing it to FG with a bow, then strides off with Flaming Sword in hand to find Joseph. Probably nipped off to the pub....
Sheep 3, care to join me for some carpenter-herding?

Nappies, eh? That doesn't really sound like my bag, baby. Tell you what - I'll sing to the little guy, and you can do it instead.
Clears throat.
#Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so...
etc.#

a) His name isn't Danny
b) Have you been drinking?
c) There's plenty more dirty nappies where that one came from, so you'd better learn to enjoy it, Joey, or I'm off with the next good-looking shepherd who comes through that door....
(Hmmm..... not much chance of that!)

Notices little Baby Jesus listening attentively.
Well, at least he listens. Can't imagine where he got that trait from...

Right, well, I don't suppose there's any point in postponing the inevitable. Now, let's see: how can I make this easy for myself?
Hmmm.
Walks over to manger, picks up Jesus. Walks over to water bucket. Dunks Jesus in bucket.
He looks clean enough now...
Returns Jesus to Mary. Beams at Mary.
