We are similar to Sparky, we do the traditional nativity scene but without the animals, our children that are not in the main story are dressed in whatever they like related to Christmas, some in snowmen or reindeer costumes. We have also got the nervous ones who will run to their parents rather than the stage. One year the paint from the tabard the King was wearing came off onto a member of staffs new top when they were in floods of tears. Oh well, with only 8 weeks to go, we have already started our practice of the songs today....Away in a manger being sung on the 29th Oct.... whatever next?
