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?

I have to say, I performed with brillianceI've never been in a Christmas play specifically, but when I was in fifth grade we put on a play for the Christmas season. For some bizarre reason it was about baseball. That year I had a totally bitchtastic teacher (if we ever have a bad teacher qotw, oh the stories I will tell). My teacher decided that everybody was going to have a part in the play, which was about Babe Ruth or something. Every student would either be an actor, or help make the set, or bring in a prop, or help make the costumes. I, being entirely uninterested, looked on and did nothing. This lasted until about one day before the show when the teacher was making the programs and realized my name went nowhere. What was I to do? I had to do something! Her unquestionable rules demanded it! So in the end, what did I do?
Whenever the actor playing Babe Ruth took a swing at an imaginary ball, I was the one hitting a xylophone hammer against a wooden block to make a "thock" sound. My parents came and took pictures.
