The nativity

Oh how it brings out the worst in people, 30 odd sets of parents, who all but one think their little angel would have been the star of the show, and you can practically herar google creak under the pressure of parents searching for stage schools, convinced their kid is the next big thing.

I love school plays, I love to see the kids enjoying themselves, but when that one parent has been calling their child by their part in the play all week, and take great delight in asking what part your child got, it becomes a farce.

Its been all I can do to contain myself, and not piss people off, but I did it, even though when asked by the aforementioned mother of "angel Gabriel" what part my son got, I wanted to say "narrator, because he's a good reader, and he would have been wasted with only a couple of lines" I behaved myself, and my boy done good, could have been a bit louder, but hey, he's a kid.

Got a break now until the Easter bonnet parade, when the woman who owns the craft shop will win again lol

My youngest (who's 4) has Dyspraxia. He was heavily flanked during his nativty as he is very unpredictable and is a bit of a livewire. Midway through he hijacked one of the little sheep from one of the shepherds and used it to bounce on the teachers head who was whispering the lines to the little ones (she took it in her stride bless her).

He said his line and joined in with the singing.

The headmistress asked them at the end who they should thank for making it all possible and he shouted out "our mums".

My eldest's concert was a far more lavish affair and went on for 2 hours 2 hours!!!!!

The teachers and support staff worked really hard and looked in need of a stiff drink afterwards.

I'm actually breaking from tradition this year.

When I get back from my shag-fest I'm going straight to the school play. It's The Nutcracker.

Our daughter wanted to be the Sugar Plum Fairy, auditioned for and got the part. And while I loathe school plays and have dodged all of them so far, I feel this time she's earned it.

It'll still be awful.

Halfway through the 'performance' stand up & shout "many of you little shits are adopted", then just walk out & go to the pub. It'll give the tiny berks something to reminisce about in years to come.

The Tantric Tea Shop

My favourite nativity story involves when the three kings were waiting to give their gifts !

The first king said 'baby Jesus, I bring you gold, handed his gift over and toddled off.

The second king: 'baby Jesus, I bring you myrrh, hand over his gift and again toddled off.

The third king looked a bit confused and hesitated, finally he handed over his gift and said 'baby Jesus,

Frank sent this!'

It's a wonder how our local fancy dress shop seems to have the inside track on what the plays will be, and has extra stock in, and inflated prices

(Lots of non standard/ themed plays )

A magnificent cathedral hosted the Christmas service for three primary and one senior school this week, my grandchildren were there. In big letters, on the first page of the order of service it clearly said no filming or photos.

You can guess what happened.
