We all know the Christmas story (or should anyway), but not much is heard from the shepherds, especially not us sheep! So, I decided to write a journal for you to see what actually happened.

What a strange evening!

It started when the sky suddenly flashed up with lights and these weirdly figure angel things appeared! They suddenly started talking to us, but halfway through that, according to Fred, I fainted. Not sure how sheep can faint, but never mind. When I woke up, the sky was back to normal but all I could hear was the shepherds shouting "Aaaaaaah. We must be dead! Angels only appear to the dead. Following a star, what nonsense! Mad, I tell you, mad".

It’s been the most tiring day ever!

We set off on this really long journey to Bethlehem at 5.00am so I literally got no sleep The road is dust, dirty and full of sharp rocks! My hooves are aching, and guess what? This whole journey is just to see a baby! Not fair! At least we got to stop for 30 minutes halfway through when Bartholomew was daydreaming and fell in a ditch.

Write when something exciting happens!

Nothing exciting has really happened but we did have to take multiple detours. One was because it rained and a huge tree blocked the path and because there was a hill too steep for us to go up. I’m soooooo tired. Shepherds say that we have only another day of travelling then we can rest. Thank goodness.

Write when we get there.

The shepherds lied! They said it would only be one day, but it has been two.! I mean at least we can see the city on the horizon.

Update! We finally arrived at the stable, tired as ever, but it was worth it! The baby actually turns out to be the son of God! How cool! I did get told off though when I tried to eat the hay that Jesus was lying on in the manger. Hey, I can’t help it! I’m only a sheep! Apart from that incident, the atmosphere was full of joy! Everyone was marvelling at this gorgeous baby, and his amazing parents Mary and Joseph. A true miracle happened and I, Bob the Sheep, was there.
