Hitherto unknown roles in Nativity plays

[Tiptopform]

I have to share this with the great Mumsnet community for your opinion and comment: the DD1 of one of my dearest friends is proudly about to step into the lights to give her finest 'Festive Jigsaw Holder'. Can anyone guess what this role might comprise? As my dear friend optimistically points out, "At least she's not a festive table/iPad/computer holder."

My dneice is an alien.

My ds was an astronaught in his infants one!

My dd is "the night sky"!!!

I am seeing a common, extra-terrestrial theme forming with ShoeWhore's niece, Fanoftheinvisibleman's DS and Ginandadashoflime's DD... are there any more?

DD was an angel (so were 30 other girls) we had aliens, stars, shepherds and dancing children amongst the leads.

120 children In a 40 minute nativity play that consisted of mainly moving said children from stage to floor.

My 5 year old DD2 was Alien number 6

DS2 was disco diva Foghorn Fred with the immortal line "Come on everybody, let's boogie"

Actually, he did have a line, so that's good, yes?

Haha we have, bodyguards, pizza delivery guy, American tourists amongst all the traditional roles!

DS was a greek Waiter. Complete with flinging plates (paper) to the floor while dancing in a circle.

My ds is very proud to be Sheep Number 7!

Wow Chippy a line? I am impressed!

Ds had to flail around in wellies with a box on his head

Mine is a sheep singing upsy daisy angel. Had a night mare with the costume, all the cotton wool balls that I stuck on fell off. So he is now a bald sheep wearing a white t shirt! The mums at my ds's school are very very very competitive so I stick out like a sore thumb!

Last year DD was a dancing chicken. Upgraded to Narrator this year!

DS1 is going to be The Sun tomorrow. No idea how that fits in!

We had a Headteacher.

Just to say that I mean the celestial body, rather than the tabloid newspaper…

Id like to be disinterested atheist # 2 at the back

There was a spider and a hen (among other random animals) in the ks1 nativity on Tuesday. My dd was one of several million narrators.

Today my dd was angel number 15 or thereabout, I could only see the tinsel on top of her head though as tall sheep number 8 was right in front of her. (I did shed a little tear as they all walked in as it was her first nativity)

I'm not normally the boasting type, but My ds is Joseph. He was so proud and held Mary's hand the whole time and helped her sit down before sitting down himself, he was the perfect gentleman. I was very proud. Last year he was the donkey, he was desperate to do it and went mad when the part nearly went to someone else, so I was quite pleased for this years promotion!

My niece is the devil and my friends daughter is 'fruit' (generic fruit not a specific one) in a nativity with sausages, eggs and other foodstuffs - makes my DS being a shepherd seem rather boring.

DS is a robin that, according to him, is the most important character. Still at least he gets to be in the nativity this year, DD is now a junior and as such is relegated to the choir. Head teacher has decreed that only infant pupils can be in the play 'because they have the cute factor'

My daughter was Ariel, the angel with a cold. She sneezed a lot, that's about it .
