The Christmas Donkey does fit in with the whole manger motif, but on the other side of the coin, it's not exactly sized to the same scale as the rest of the creatures we've encountered. Unless, of course, you're the type who consider sheep and lambs to be roughly 34 times smaller than a donkey. This is one big jackass. The kind that could pull a carriage or kick it to pieces with a shared ease, this is a donkey who's seen it all. Nothing phases him these days - not even the Mare Winningham triplets.
The Mares decided to worship the unrealistically huge donkey. I can dig it. Still, it's kind of stupid of them to trade religions like this so close to Christmas. I mean, you go 360+ days loving Jesus, and now you're gonna throw loyalty to a donkey instead right before his birthday? Pretty cruel. I think the donkey would've understood if you wanted to give Jesus a nice b-day before switching allegiances. The donkey Is a just and benevolent god.
