DD’s nativity play - does cow person mean person dressed as a cow or politically correct cowboy?

[Ostryga]

I will obviously clarify tomorrow but am I very stupid in not getting what this is 😂

I wish they wouldn't faff around with the nativity. Ours were bog standard - a jesus doll, Mary, Joseph, Gabriel, extra angels, donkey, camels, wise men. Maybe a shepherd?

Little Donkey, Away in a Manger. There were no cow people or hoedowns!

Well the Nativity in Love Actually had at least two lobsters

I'm thinking something akin to a pantomime cow, one of the animals in the stable.

Let us know OP.

Ooh - one of my DC did that one as well - I remember quite enjoying it!

I've definitely attended a primary school nativity with kids in cowboy hats!

Some nativities are not purely that but have other elements. One features a group of cowboys sitting around a campfire telling the nativity story. Could be something like that. We would just put cowboy/girl.

My DD in reception is a cowgirl this as in 'howdy partner ' 🤣 so I would guess it's not an actual cow animal!

Yes ha pardner hot diggidy dog

It's Prickly Hay.

They'll be a cow boy/ cow girl but the letter should have been clearer.

It'll all make sense when you see it!

🎶 Prickly hay, prickly hay... 🎶

I vote this. Cow hand. A sheppard analogue.

The letter says your DC chose to be cow person, do they have any idea? I did a nativity once at a nursery and the kids chose what they wanted to be!

She’ll be a cowgirl.

Mine was a Stormtrooper one year

Minotaur. Definitely a minotaur. There should always be a minotaur in a nativity.

My DD was a Midwife one year. With a mobile phone on which she was called to attend the birth. Nativities are bonkers these days.

Schools can get very creative at writing in 30 odd new players attending Jesus birth.
cowboys aren’t such a stretch
we had an entire pub of underage drinkers in one commenting how full everywhere was 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Option 5, my new favourite!

That's what I'm thinking. Like a shepherd but for cows.

But short of a lot of pub attendees, or a full heavenly choir of angels , that means kids get left out,
that cannot happen , ever, these days,
🤷🏼‍♀️

Ah you've cracked it I think but I'm highly disappointed and I'd ask your child if they want to go as a cow/person hybrid? The cowpeople need something to look after.

You need a cow if you're going to sing the cattle are loooowing

I'm thinking shepherd

DD did Prickly Hay. I did like the Stable Hoedown. She also did one based on Strictly (Lights Camel Action) and one based on hotel inspection (the InnSpectors) where she was a tour guide. I got some good suggestions on here for her costume.

Nativity has moved on since my day😄

I might show up to a nativity play with a Minotaur

I'm guessing they are doing this one... www.outoftheark.co.uk/prickly-hay.html
