The Virgin now comes to Bethlehem to give birth to Christ
Who has become an infant in the flesh.
Christ has voluntarily become poor.
Christ has become visible.
Let heaven and earth rejoice
God is revealed as a mortal man,
Born without change of a Maiden who has not known a man.
Let us all praise Him in song.
For He has been glorified.

Haha ... you are humerous finallysomepride. I cant tell you why the animals look shitty but they normally are drawn looking at the baby providing it warmth with their breath. Could just be the style of the iconographer coming through ... maybe he was having a bad day!
For your interest, the ox and the donkey are represented in the icon of the nativity because of this verse:
"The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib" (Isaiah 1:3).
Good for you ixthis its good to have a sense of humour. It would be easy to get offended here if we didnt .
