As we carry on our countdown to the big day, let's take our minds back to being in primary school. The cold wooden hall, those awfully uncomfortable pine benches and the creative masterpiece of the school year - the nativity.
My personal memories
I have two nativities that stand out in my mind. One was when I made a guest appearance in my sisters nativity as the big guy himself, baby Jesus. I remember laying in a plastic washing basket trying my best to appear serene and holy which must have worked as the head teacher lifted me up to a round of applause at the endThe other was when I was, inevitably, the Inn Keeper's wife. I wanted to be an angel so badly that I had a very sullen look on my face as we declared 'THERE IS NO ROOM AT THIS INN'.
Does anyone remember playing the wooden blocks to the tune of little donkey too?
Over to you:
- Can you remember your nativity?
- What songs did you sing?
- And who did you play - an inn-keeper with a tea towel on your head, or one of the much sought after names, like Mary or Joseph?
Share with me your memories in the comments below and let's take ourselves back there this gloomy Sunday!

I remember being an angel with a tinsel halo and white sheet and my then little boyfriend was a shepherd
The best memory was watching my sons first nativity he was one of the three kings and carried gold parcel proud mummy moment lots of tears . -
@janer1967 I'm frankly jealous of you being an angel, and bless you having a little shepherd boyfriend
Ahhh there's nothing sweeter than seeing children in them. I've loved watching my nephews grow up and remember one year my youngest one played the part of a pig in the stableOnline Community Co-ordinator

I was always a narrator as I scored high in English tests which was apparently how they were chosen and also I was rubbish at acting and singing

I was too shy to be in the school plays. Now given that I’m overweight I’d probably play the part of Bethlehem.?

@leeCal Ahhh stop it I can just imagine you as one of the three kings.
@66Mustang Ooh the narrator was an important role!
Did you all sing away in a manger? That song makes me emotional and I'm not sure why.

In primary school I was the narrator, along with a girl I fancied at the time
No idea how I ended up being the narrator, but I remember it being fun!Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

I remember having a couple of different roles over the years. I was definitely a narrator at one point, and was one of the many, many donkeys we had another year.

Probably donkey @Ross_Scope. Better costume, and less responsibility.
