Obed the shepherd complains about the weather and his lot in life. In fact, he complains about everything. He even complains about his sheep. He can’t see what all the fuss is about when an angel appears to announce that a baby has been born. His first reaction is priceless: ‘Big deal… Another yowling baby to keep us all awake!’ You get the idea.
In a world where everyone is so different, I love that the grumpy can share Christmas too.
