There are times when swaddling clothes get a little out of hand. In this case, Jesus is swaddled like a glow worm from his feet up to his halo.
There's so much great detail in this painting: the pigeons on the roof, the angel announcing the birth of Jesus with a banner, the wee shepherds in the foreground and the weird grazing animals.
