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?

Insane...Twas the mid 1960's and I had been off sick from school for a couple of days (probably some lame effort to get sympathy and Lucozade).
One of the kids on my street comes around to see me with a message from our teacher to tell me that the school Nativity play has been cancelled and we're now doing Aladdin instead.
But the really big news is that I'm playing Aladdin - but only if I'm well enough to come back to school that week.
My sister put together a very satiny costume for me and I decided to wear this on the schoolbus the next day, frankly looking like a very gay version of Jack Sparrow.
My teacher seemed pleased to see me back at school, but alas, there was no junior production of Aladdin - much to the great amusement of a classroom full of six year olds.
I had my first school fight that lunchtime and got into trouble for smacking the other kid with my plastic sword.
