"... her waters break. Crisis! "No vacancy" signs in every B&B window. Decision. Mary has a "home birth" in a livestock shed. She wraps strips of cloth around the baby and uses an animal feeding trough as a cot...

Wholly infant so Other, so wild.
Awake at an unearthly hour. (x2)"

May God bless you loads this Christmas! Jonny
