... its bound to be packed, after all, the world and his wife'll be there. What happens if we "just turn up" and there's nowhere to stay? Where does he think I'm going to give birth, in a stable?

Outrageous.

What if unexpected guests arrive to bring you presents? It'd be a nightmare...

bloody men typical. 'oh there'll be something i am sure'-i know the routine.

have you packed your bag? got your swaddling clothes ready? might want to take some dettox and a cloth-you know how grubby stables get-with all that horse shit everywhere.

nah, you will be fine. Loads of pubs around. There is bound to be at least one with an outhouse if push comes to shove

Oo, do you think there'll be presents? How will they know where to deliver them? That's a point, how will I get my Bounty pack?

Mind you we've got this whopping great star that seems to be following us, how are we supposed to get any sleep at night with that thing shining down...

and if you are expecting any guests likely to bring gifts, perhaps ask them not to bother with posh smellies but bring some decent pain relief and a warm blanket instead. Much more useful..

Oh I think you should get one of those portable blackout blinds to block out the light from the star.

You do know all the animal related health risks, don't you? Avoid anywhere with sheep, for example - no good for pregnant women...

I have a shed you can rent for £3,000 a night if you don't mind shacking up with the Ox

I've got a feeling that everything will turn out for the best. Watch out for King Herod though, he's nasty!
