A Box of Christmas Characters

We'll change the wording before next year's "Nativity from Scratch" advert goes up.

 "Come dressed as your favourite character from the Nativity", we said.

So a few Maries, couple of Josephs, three angels, some shepherds (one of whom specialised in unicorn herding, but whatever). Disturbingly, a Herod. The Little Drummer Boy, Snow White, "Nemo", David Bowie and Pob.

Next year we'll go from "Come as a real person from the very real story of the Nativity, as mashed together from two gospels but allowing an innkeeper regardless of him not being in the gospel stories as he's definitely in the story. Like the ox and ass but definitely not that Tyranitar that ate the set."

 Not "characters" . Definitely not "characters". And nobody is coming as Boris Johnson. We definitely don't believe in him.
