Jules Howard has started an advent calendar on Twitter. The subject is overlooked nativity animals. First one: donkey louse.

Lets not forget the humble Woodworm ?
They would be living in the rafters along with the spiders etc.
Oh yes.
The Manger too, getting squished by baby Jesus.

Worms are useful creatures CF could we perhaps have Trump as a cockroach?

Ok I'll go with that Anya, Think politicians in the main will be leeches especially MEP'S.

Maybe we could get the politicians to be dung beetles ... there would be lots of crap to be rolled about .. they would get away with not having to rehearse

Day 3: #forgottennativityanimals House-fly. Evolved in the Middle East and probably migrated across the world with humans.

Even better idea Gillyanne

shock Do they all look so angry I wonder, or is that one the Victor Meldrew of the ant world?

Ana Sat 03-Dec-16 13:52:44

I wish I could un-see that...

Anya Sat 03-Dec-16 14:03:06

Then I won't post a picture of the house dust mite Ana grin

Yes you might squash a poor unsuspecting louse Jalima, oh dear.

Failure he may be,,but surely Holland's is no eay

annifrance Mon 05-Dec-16 13:17:24

Oops. ...in no way in the same category as Trump and Farage, in fact that is being very unkind to fleas, leeches et all.

Jalima Mon 05-Dec-16 14:11:48

As long as I squashed the louse Christinef before she jumped on me and gave birth.

thatbags Mon 05-Dec-16 15:00:33

Day 5 from Jules is Kuhl's pipistrelle

Drimmy hasn't posted one yet.

Christinefrance Mon 05-Dec-16 17:48:52

Sorry Anniefrance, Holland should have been told " up there is for thinking and down there for ........"

Did we forget the birds for the Nativity too, crows and buzzards, not sure if they are indigenous to the area though.

For her Nursery Nativity, DGD has been practising singing what sounds like "Alistair Campbell has two humps".(Does he qualify as a buzzard?)
Apparently it should be "Alice the Camel".
