"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel saif to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'"
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appreared with the angel, praising God and saying, "glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men on whom His favor rests."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds saif to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.'"
Luke 2: 8-15 (NIV)
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds saif to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.'"

I just love how the angels went to the shepherds and not to the governors, the leaders of the town and the popular people! It just had to be such an exciting night for them!
