Quiz: Tell us your general vibe and we’ll guess who you played in the school Nativity
Maybe it’s not that bad being the donkey
You know that Christmas is coming when rehearsals started for the Nativity in primary school. It was the most hectic time of the year – ranging from fights over who got to be Narrator #3 to tantrums thrown over for being assigned the back of a donkey.
There would be at least two showings, one for the rest of the school and one for families – the latter would be the worst. The entire school’s parents showed up, just like a huge family reunion. Some people would arrive up to an hour early just so that they can sit at the front to film the entire thing from beginning to end (despite the play being the exact same every year), obstructing everyone else’s view.
In a nutshell, the Nativity took priority over everything, including education. There have even been studies showing that Mary and Joseph are more likely to be higher earners. This is more than just a school play – there’s much more at stake.
