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?

Finally, after years of parts as sheep and donkeys..I was allowed to be an angel. Not only that, I was allowed to carry a big silver star on a pole too. It was every little girl's dream: the white dress, silver tinsel in the hair, glitter... the works.
Unfortunately, as a kid I was prone to nosebleeds, and even more unfortunately about ten seconds before I was due to go on stage I had the horrible, familiar, warm feeling in my nose as blood started to gush from my nostrils, all over the nice white dress my Mum had made from an old bedsheet. Not wanting to miss my moment as an angel, I stepped out on stage holding my star looking more Carrie than Gabriel. There were gasps of horror from the audience, before my hand was quickly grabbed from the side of the stage by "Miss" who dragged me off the stage and took me to the loos to clean me up, tears now mixing with the blood as I was mortified to be missing the play.
The next year I was back to being a sheep again, and I never did get to be Mary. Ever.
