Rather a lot of K & M's toys with some help from K, M & A put on a nativity play yesterday. It started with a teddy bear with wings playing the Angel Gabriel who visited first Mary and then Joseph (both played by dogs) and who used smelling salts to revive them when the fainted with shock. Another dog played the Empress Audrey who declared that everyone had to go to their home town for the census, so Joseph took Mary, who rode on a donkey played by a cheetah, to Bethelehem. The cat hotel manager who happened to be a donkey-lover let them stay in the stable. Mary gave birth to Jesus, a kitten, and breastfed him before the shepherds (two dogs) turned up with a lamb (played by a lamb!). Finally the three wise giraffes showed up, bringing with them emminently sensible gifts of a rattle, teething ring and teddy bear, and the news that Queen Heroda was coming to kill their baby, so they'd better "skedaddle pronto". This they did, by being whizzed across the kitchen floor to safety.
