That is a classic. There's a new film out over here called Nativity! It's all about a teacher who does the hollywood treatment on his primary nativity and I guess they have spent years amalgamating all the wonderful stries like yours just for it. I'm skiving off work next week to go and see it with a girlfriend...<br />Brit in Bosnia - no really, there was quite enough drama as it was. Don't worry when you're back the boys will be snapped up in a trice to tread the boards at Christmas...<br />MOB - Glad it made you chuckle and you've hit the nail on the head Bedlam - which I believe is a very good place for parents I think!<br />Ponside - it wouldn't be any good without the bathrobes, I find they are very authentic!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-49188941607200584322009-12-05T18:09:08.479+00:002009-12-05T18:09:08.479+00:00I love it all!

There is a pageant at church on Christmas Eve, and the first year that we took Lillypad's boyfriend, a non-Christian, his comment to his mother was that he'd been to L's church, where 'a lot of kids were on stage in bathrobes'. I wouldn't miss it for the world - and you captured the treat perfectly.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-71476686753329098542009-12-05T14:06:59.393+00:002009-12-05T14:06:59.393+00:00Not having kids I've never been to one but the...Not having kids I've never been to one but they sound brilliant.

True...and pick it she did, to the extent that you wouldn't think there was any bounty left!... 10/10 in my memory goes to the little boy who drew back his left fist and punched the young boy to his right, fair in the eye...we were all so stunned,mid-carol,no-one knew what to do - very hard to haul out someone's little darling from the very middle of the bleachers. The "teaching beckoning finger" came to mind, but the child's disruption of the whole scene would be awkward.The singing continued, the eye started swelling, and mercifully then it was exit stage left for everybody. Can't remember what happened after that.I don't think it was the first or last of Christmas punch-ups in that town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-76574512530049893392009-12-04T23:11:49.765+00:002009-12-04T23:11:49.765+00:00Just lovely - they're too precious aren't ...Just lovely - they're too precious aren't they?

I was remembering when I was a little lamb some 40 years ago (I am as they delightfully call it nowadays a geriatric mother...)<br />SmitoniusAndSonata - ah now that's another story which I have yet to tell..well I'll tell it anyway. Because there was a fracas over the fact that some children would be having their costumes bought and these would be better than those made (obvioulsy) and there could be a disparity between the lead characters and the bit polayers the school took away this problem by saying they would be handling all costumes and it was probably one of the best early Xmas present I have ever been given - sewing is NOT my forte!<br />Ladybird World Mother - Bottowm Scratching wonderful; I did have willy holding but I suspect The Boy was a tad bervous...Hope you had a fantastic time!<br />Nicola - they do look adorable and it was The Boy's last one.

I was watching my poor son's performance so intently that I was apparently oblivious to every other child getting antsy, yawning, singing the wrong words etc. I thought it was just him. Luckily some other mums set me straight afterwards. They did all look so cute - but it was yet another annual reminder that the stage is not my son's forte in life!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017352687163694581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-66942748319655976602009-12-04T18:41:20.650+00:002009-12-04T18:41:20.650+00:00We had ours today too!!

And , by the way , what was this king wearing? <br />School performances are always hilarious and lump-in-throat at the same time . <br />Like the year my youngest's class all danced , dressed as builders , to Madonna's " Like A Virgin "...???? .In her defence , I have to point out that the nun in charge didn't speak English or know who Madonna was ....she just thought it was a catchy tune .SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-12853608585986614972009-12-04T18:00:28.894+00:002009-12-04T18:00:28.894+00:00it sounds brilliant! takes me back...it sounds brilliant! takes me back...Not From Laplandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165208811776097332noreply@blogger.com
