Christmas Story

Music
And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by,
keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you;
he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.'
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one
another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened,
which the Lord has told us about.'

Of course it had been Lokis idea.
Like "Heeey just let's perform a little play! Hah! Noone will think about that!" At the beginning he got some weird glaces and had to convince the other stuffmembers.
He got Klara with the role of the angel and Til with 'You are already having a sheperd costume, right?'.
Actually he lost Hanna and her fiancé on the plan. He soooo had them in mind for Joseph and Mary but well it was the same with the Three Kings there where so many ideas and sooo little time for organisation~.

Loki even accustomed the leading sheep 'Larifari' to collar, leash and his mare Axe. Just to be a authentic shepherd
He took Lari for some walks and trained Axe together with the sheep and some of her herd to get all of them some stamina. The others where trustfully and somewhat scared following after their leader but after some time they all got calmer and used to the situation. In the end this part was the one that worked out best.
Til chose our upcomming star icelandic stallion 'Náttfari' for the trail because the little fellow has way to much engergy. The young paint was not exactly nice to sheep and he used every chance to freak out. Like 'omg a sheep!' or 'ooooh noooo snowflakes' and so on x'D So Til had a looot of 'fun' dealing with this bundle of engery all the time while Loki was playing around with his stupid sheep~
