Nativity PlaysEvery year the little kids at schools all over get to put on a play. Often it's christmas themed, but the key thing is that everyone gets a part, whether it's Snowflake #12 or Mary or Grendel (yes, really).
Personally I played a 'Rich Husband' who refused to buy matches from some scabby street urchin. Never did see her again...
Who or what did you get to be? And what did you have to wear?

One year...because our school did a different Nativity story every year, we often had weird and wonderful parts to play. The weirdest one I ever was (and no, I never played a sheep, although I was once a donkey)...
A Hula Dancer.
Yep, i was a Hula Dancer one year due to the messed up plotline we had about an angel finding where Jesus should be born or something, and one of the places was Hawaii.
In retrospect, the entire thing was incredibly stereotypical. 'Japanese' people with tape on their eyes to make them pulled back, and also ponytails made of horse tail hair. 'French' people with onions, berets and stripy shirts. Hawaiian Hula dancers (like me) with grass skirts, beach shorts and lurid t-shirts. All jolly good slightly racist fun!

I have to ask how they concluded.Something along the lines of
"Let's pick this spot in the middle east, so that the Christ-child can be born with a child-murdering dictator to contend with, and then forever more various groups of Arabs can war over who deserves to occupy this town the most".

It was......something along the lines of one of the angels falling asleep in the stable, and found it so comfortable that God decided to have his son born there.
