    Mate, do you mean you missed out on Nativity plays at school?

    You get to wear a tea-towel on your head and say things like, "Look. Yonder star over Bethlehem. The King is born..." in monotone whilst trying to see if your mum or dad are watching in the audience.

      Best one I ever saw, the "sheep" got loose and wandered all over the stage baa-ing, and Mary held baby Jesus by locking yhr dolls head firmly in her armpit while staring open mouthed at the audience before crying.

      It truly WAD magical :')

        We did one every year.

        I was Joseph, once. I was proud to have knocked up Mary, only to find out it was that bloody fella in the sky, God. I gave her a stern telling off, the cheat.

        I'm sure you could have sailed on stage with your wife in one arm and a scimitar in the other, snatched the Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh and sailed off into the cardboard horizon - had the school been open minded :P
