Hope she recognizes me. Of course, I wasn't purple the last time I was in here.

After a day of eggnog lattes at Starbucks, I was never off my head, unlike the rest of you. So I am all ready and excited about the Great Visit to Bethlehem Maternity Hospi- ah Stable.
I had my hair cut and coloured at the salon, changed tea-towels and planned my gifts.
I will be the fulfilmment of 2 Christmas carols.
I will play my drum for them, pa rum par par rum, and Mary and her baby will smile and nod at me at me...
Secondly, asking what can I give him, it will be revealed that I will give them my heart-
(of love I suppose, not in a literal sense.)
Oh, it is a happy day indeed.

Turns to Mary.
Nothing wrong with asking them if they're bringing cheer, is there?
Turns to shepherds.
{much quieter whisper than last time}
Think I covered that one quite well. How about cigars? Anyone got some Pringles? But remember: be discreet - it's her time of the month, or something.
Takes a swig of Black Sheep.
This stuff isn't half awful! You guys drink this? Next, you'll be telling me you eat sheep plop and get your jollies with ewes.
Oh. Sorry. Didn't realise...

Because it is Christmas, the Spare Shepherd speaks to the Baby Jesus in (pig) Latin, but provides translation for those who didn't go to a nice middle-class secondary school....
"Eholdbay, Onsay ofway Odgay... Iway ivegay ouyay ymay earthay inway away indkay-ofway Atinlay, ichwhay akesmay emay ooklay
othbay ovinglay andway everclay.
Ohway andway umblehay."
(Behold, Son of God... I give you my heart in a kind-of Latin, which makes me look both loving and clever.
Oh and humble.)
