"No I didn't"
"Yes, she has her own lines to say. She is going to be a star"
"Really"
"What part does Johnny have?"
"Oh, he's a mouse"
"Right! And Alfie?
"A donkey"
"I'm sure they'll be just lovely"
You can just see conversations like this happening up and down the country. Mothers competing over who's child is the biggest star in the nativity. I must point out that I am not of this school of thought. I think all the kids in the gorgeously cute performances shine in their own right. However, having attended a number of nativities in the past few years I have always found it to be the donkey that steals the show (aside from my munchkin who is obviously a bigger star in my eyes regardless of the part they play!)
Who would not instantly fall in love with the donkey? With lies like:
"Well have ya seen the size of her?" (when talking about carrying Mary and being tired)
Oh and the standard 'Eee Ahh" whilst jumping around the stage.
The donkey in this years nativity was no exception and had the whole audience in fits of laughter!
Today's Christmas song, especially for the other half is Dominick the Donkey:
We are just about getting through this last mad week before Christmas. How are you doing? Are you all organised?
