Combined 80's electro me thinks
Ahh the nativity play.

Well I had two bizzare parts. I shall begin with the first.

Now in my school we didnt audition, we got told what we were going to be. Every one wanted to be a traditional character including myself, but no.

My first part was that of a toy robot, yes a toy robot. This consisted of me in a giant cardboard box covered in foil. Now as it came to the play I did a lot of sitting around all I did was eat the foil that was right by my mouth well I couldnt twiddle my thumbs, my hands could not physically touch, such was the size of the box.

But to be fair it was a toy robot and had some meaning to christmas. But my second role had absolutely no bearing to the nativity or christmas what so ever well for a child anyway.

Now remember that song Saturday Night by Whigfield, youtube it if you don't, hell just youtube it anyway.

Doesn't really have that christmas feel does it.

And so to my part, there were three others beside myself and yes you guessed it we in the nativity were dancers, yes Dancers with a full routine.

But being the extroverted little shite I was, I loved it, the others didn't but I did.
So on the performance night I was so excited. We got up on the stage and I was on the end and as my mother recalls rather embarrasingly I was doing the routine with great enthuiasm which wasn't shared by the other children.

Now the only promblem was they were dancing in complete sync while i was well, completely absorbed and had erm shall we say gone off the track somewhat but I do remember having a whale of a time.

So all in all it had nothing to do with christmas but it put me in christmas cheer all right.


A little note by bastard brother got to be father christmas but my poor little sister instead of being an angel whcich would have been perfect sweet thin and blonde she ended up being a sheep.

baa for now.
