The polar bear is a nice addition, even though it looks like it's about to eat the Little Baby Jesus.

Putting that on repeat...

He sounds a bit like that geezer from Caravan .... or possibly Camel ... one of those hippy bands beginning with 'B' anyway. Good job.
Just noticed that white-wiseman is eyeing up polar bear's arse.

Perhaps he's not such a wise man after all.
The polar bear is eyeing the sheep. I wonder if he thinks that it's a petite and sexy female bear, or just a light snack.
Sul that song is fantastic! I don't have a sound card on my PC so I am now listening to it on my sisters laptop. Because said PC buggered!
and the little baby jesus is reaching up pleadingly to cup his face, murmuring "take me, i'm yours. take me hard, you big BEAR you. make my holy see, i mean: saw"

Make my holy see-saw?
doc, you wanna see if you can get this guy into your scene next year:

In Catalonia, as in most of Spain, the traditional Christmas decoration is a large model of the city of Bethlehem, similar to American Nativity scenes that encompasses the entire city rather than just the typical manger scene. The Catalans have added an extra character that is not found in the manger scenes of any other culture. In addition to Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the Shepherds and company, Catalans have the character known as the Caganer. This extra little character is often tucked away in some corner of the model, typically nowhere near the manger scene, where he is not easily noticed. There is a good reason for his obscure position in the display, for "caganer" translates from Catalan to English as "defecator", and that is exactly what this little statue is doing — defecating.
