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?

A Christmas TreeI went to a very catholic primary school - nuns, priests the whole works.
Which is why my parents were very surprised to find that I'd been cast as 'the christmas tree'.
Now my Bible recollection isn't all that - but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a fir tree in Bethlehem on the night Jesus popped into the world.
More weirdly the costume was two enormous pieces of card, both cut into christmas tree shapes and decorated with glitter. Then on the morning of the event - I had to lie on the floor while being sandwiched by these two pieces of card while the teacher stapled me inside it, with just my feet and a now green painted face sticking out of it.
And then I had to stand there jigging while everyone danced around me... to the sound of Mel Smith and Kim Wilde's Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
I needed years of therapy after that fateful day....

Misread"Decorated with glitter" as "decorated by Glitter"; puts a whole new spin on it.
