Okay so chickens have downy feathers and sheep have fluffy wool ...so
... if you shear the wool off the sheep and use it to make a sweater for your chicken ...
and then your sheep would be cold ... so ... you pluck your chickens' feathers (they won't need 'em 'cuz they have nice warm sweaters)
and use the feathers to make a nice big fluffy feather boa to wrap around the sheep.

HMMMM ... kinda like the gift of the Magi, eh?

I always hated that story... somehow it really made me cross when it was required reading in (jr?) high school... just keep the watch, keep the hair, <<talk>> about your financial issues, and have a nice quiet christmas dinner at home wih no presents. maybe just a nice card or something. meh.

around here, we shear the wool in the summer anyway, so by the time it's cold, it's grown back.
and THEN we make sweaters for the lambs from their mama's wool... (sweet, eh?) not really a lamb's wool sweater, a MOM'S wool sweater!
'course we could go with the Magi theme and knit them nativity scene ones... lambs in little donkey sweaters, lambs in cow sweaters, lambs in.... well, lamb sweaters... and we could dress the chickens up to look like... CHICKENS! in sweaters...

<whew>! I really need less coffee on a monday morning
