The Nativity

[curiouswombat]

Well, the Nativity went really well, I remembered all the things I had to take or do, and the kids were great. Of course it didn't exactly go according to script - one shepherd got stage fright, and sat and wept quietly through the last song until someone noticed and went up and gave him a cuddle, another shepherd was noted to be happily picking his nose, and had his headress on sideways by the time we let all the parents loose with cameras. All these tiny shepherds took so long to walk around the Church on their journey to Bethlehem, that my teenage Wise Men almost arrived ahead of them. But as someone once said to me - "it ALWAYS goes well - have you ever been to a Nativity and heard someone say 'That shepherd was sitting in the wrong place, and it spoilt it for me completely.'"

I'm not sure who was the star of the show - teenage daughter and her slightly goth cousin who volunteered to dress up as Innkeepers and sing
We put the vacant signs in, the full signs out,
In, out, in, out - we're full without a doubt!
We're making lots of money, of that there is no doubt,
Thats why we sing and shout-
Oh! all our inns are full now - etc.

to the tune of the Hokey Cokey. Or was it my tiniest angel - just three last week, with her halo on slightly sideways, and her little pink steel-rimmed glasses? Or possibly it was my Joseph, who coped without his carpet, and looked after 'Mary' and the Baby so carefully.

I would have put you up a photo, but I don't know how to, and S2C just told me it was impossible without a whole lot of things I didn't understand, and he didn't volunteer to help - so you'll just have to use your imagination!

I would have hosted the photo on my site and done the link to it if you'd asked me.

You know what they say about a volunteer being worth twenty pressed men?

Photobucket.com! That's what I use. It's free and you just link to it. I would love to see a pic of "Joseph the Carpeter." *snerk*

Thanks. I will either press S2C (with an iron - like a pair of trousers?) to do it for me, or try photobucket for myself. Haven't got time right now as I'm just logged on whilst eating breakfast, but hopefully I'll get it organized tonight.

Sounds like hubby is your best bet. Photobucket has the drawback of telling one they're too busy unless you log on in the middle of the night to sign up with them. I think they told me try between 2-4 AM. Luckily for me, I usually awaken at an ungodly hour, so I could sign up with them.
