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?

my motherwas a primary school teacher, and every year she had to organise the nativity play. mostly they stuck to the original script, and everyone was happy.
until the year they decided it would be a good idea to do the 12 days of christmas, with a child dressed up as every gift.
my poor mother spent about 3 months of her life making costumes. and in the event the partridge got tangled up in his constricting cage of a costume, couldn't move and fell flat on his face at the end of the first round, so it was more like a felled log than a pear tree.
the 5 gold rings fell out with each other and one of them sobbed vociferously throughout the performance.
and santa didn't turn up, so my dad got roped in at the last minute. he was hot. his beard itched. he doesn't like other people's kids at the best of times. there's probably a whole generation of kids in manchester who grew up thinking santa was more like victor meldrew.
