With Jesus being a baby boy (I swear that boys are all such light sleepers), I keep picturing Mary's mental reaction when the drummer boy asks if he can play for them.
Oh yeah. Meanwhile, I always have to suppress a chuckle (or an eye roll, or both) when I get to "The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes/But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes” in "Away in a Manger." I find the no crying part very hard to believe.
