It's the wee hours of the night and you are wakened by a commotion outside. What's going on? Then, a knock at your door - more of a pounding, really. You open to find a man, caked with dirt, smelling of sweat and animals, someone you would cross the street to avoid if you came upon them in town. He asks you if there's a baby in your home that he could come an look at. Obviously, he's insane! You are about to tell him so when you realize that there are about fifty more just like him in a big unruly mob jostling up behind him, trying to see around you...

This is quickly becoming a very Unexpected Christmas Story.
