WHITE PINE, Tenn. – A Christmas Nativity pageant in Jefferson County, Tennessee, turned into slow motion chaos when a 2-year-old “sheep” tried to steal the Baby Jesus and “Mary” tried to step in.

One of the preschoolers wanted to play with the baby doll stand-in for Christ, while the other realized it needed to stay in the manger, and a brawl ensued. At one point, “Mary” had the “sheep” in a headlock.
