Can I please have all my angels

on the steps over here?

I forgot what I'm

supposed to say.

Just remember

why you need the room,

And you'll say the right thing.

Hey, Nicole,

Where's that glittery

star you made?

I mean, I've got a rig

And a slot, but no star.

Shepherds, pay attention.

When watching

over your flock at night,

Do not... Repeat, do not

step on the electrical cords.

Okay, here we go. And a five, six,

seven, eight. ( PLAYS CHORD )

GIRL:
Hey, you didn't say,

"and a one, and a two, and a three."

All right, I'll give you

a one and a two.

Kevin, stop

picking your nose, buddy.

( PIANO PLAYING )

Who's there?

What do you want?

Fear not.

You're extremely flavored of the lord.

What's that mean?

God loves you,

and he picked you

To be the mother of his kid.

You know, the son of god.

Uh-Uh! I'm a virgin.

Uh-Huh.

So what do I do?

Nothing. God will

take care of everything,

Including talking to Joseph

about it.

Okay. If you say so.

Hey, Joe, wake up.

Mary's with child.

Say what?

She's pregnant.

I didn't do anything.

We know, we know.

She really is a virgin.

What do you want me to do?

First, marry her.

But don't touch her.

Then, name the baby Jesus.

Anything else?

Yeah, take good care of them.

I'll be bringing

more instructions later.

KEVIN:
Caesar was disgusted and

sent everyone home to be taxed.

My wife's having a baby.

Let me it.

CHILD:
No!

You're supposed to say,

"there's no room at the inn!"

I said "no," didn't I?

What do we do?

You can sleep in the barn if you want.

Thanks.

( PIANO PLAYING )

The star stopped.

Look! There's the castle

over there.

Well, the lights are on.

So they must still be up.

BOY:
Hi, we're very wise men.

And wise woman.

I'm horrid.

We've been following his star

for a very long time.

Then you must be hungry.

Come enjoy some Twinkies

While I check it out

with my wise guys.

( AUDIENCE LAUGHING )

My boys say if it's true,

He's supposed to be born

in Bethlehem.

BOY:
Where's that?

Not too far from here.

I'll show you on my G.P.S.

Thanks.

Just a minute.

You owe me now.

So when you find out

where he is, you let me know.

Do you want

to worship him, too?

Yeah. Me and the boys

Are gonna pay him

a little visit.

( PIANO PLAYS )

( AUDIENCE LAUGHING )

Hey, how your sheep doing?

They're okay.

But I'm bored.

Nothing ever happens

in Bethlehem.

When I'm old enough,

I'm going to Jerusalem,

Be a tax collector.

They make big money.

# Angels we have heard on high #

Hark! Herald angels

are singing!

# Sweetly singing

o'er the plains #

# Gloria

# In excelsis

# Deo #

Fear not.

Behold, I bring you

good tidings

Of great joy which shall be

To all people.

Which means?

Good news for everybody.

Unto you is born,

this day, in the city of David,

A savior,

which is Christ the lord.

This shall be a sign to you:

You shall find a babe

wrapped in swaddling clothes,

Lying in a manger.

What are swaddling clothes?

KEVIN:
Pampers, dummy.

Let's check it out.

What about our sheep?

Bring 'em with.

( GIRL MUTTERS )

Glory to god in the highest.

And on earth, peace.

Goodwill to all men.
