Good evening, ladies and truckers.

The children have worked very hard this term to bring you this, so without further ado, here is the Mumsnet Nativity 2006.

*

This is the story of Mary, Joseph and the birth of Baby Jesus. Along the way we shall meet shepherds, angels, wise men, a crotchety innkeeper and all manner of animals.

Our story starts with Mary having a very special visitor...

[flaps script bossily]

and there were shepherds abiding in the fields keeping watch over their flocks by night

when suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were very afraid!

[Percussion section takes a bow after moment of glory with triangle and tambourine, falls over, bangs head on drum, gets a nosebleed and starts to cry loudly dripping snot and blood on to assorted instruments...]

Bless!

All the mums gather around the mice pies, trying to help their LOs get changed, eat a mince pie, and have an adult conversation, whilst checking through the pictures on their digital cameras.
