I am casting this years production, you can eithrt nominate yourself, or another NSCer, but you will need to justify why you/they should play that part...

I will open by nominating HB&B as Pilate...do I really need to explain?

Also TLO as Joseph, Artisan and humble, will need to re-grow beard tho.

Buzzer as one of the wise men...he has the right hair for it...

Anyone else...

BigGully as one of the Maji

easy10 as the narrator

Bens Grandad as the Innkeeper

Tedebear as a kangaroo who has wandered erroneously into the wrong sketch

On the christmas theme, a friend yesterday was telling me about Dubai at Christmas Time as she lived there with her husband for many years.

At the main shopping mall, they had a nativity scene, with Mary, Joseph, the three Maji, Oxen, Shepherds, Sheep etc , BUT there was no baby jesus in the manger!!! Also, they had a loop of Christmas Carols, one being Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel.......which has the line....release thy captive Isreal!!! Which seing as Israel does not exist in their eyes, they thought it was rather ironic. And the Arabs they knew used to be highly offended if they did not send them Christmas Cards!

They are correct though, aren't they?

Traditionally, you never put the figure of baby jesus into the scene until Christmas morning. My [very religious] mother-in-law still does this.

Can't say I know the story properly but I know kids who do it at school always seem to be cast as sheep, which sounds like a great part to me.

So put me down as one of the flock

Having played football with and against a good few folk on here, there's plenty of options to choose from for the role of the DONKEY.

To be strictly 'accurate' the Magi shouldn't arrive until the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th.

Until then they should be placed to the east of the nativity scene, and if you wish, they can be moved gradually nearer, between Dec 25th and Jan 5th, arriving bearing their gifts on January 6th.

Bloke (a carpenter) marries Lady who hasn't been with a man before. She then tells him that she is with child after being visited by a guy in the night who said he was an angel and his name was gabriel.

They get told that they need to go to another Town 'Bethlehem' to register and travel on a donkey (little). When they get there all the travelodges are full so they check out the local pub. The landlord ends them to a barn which they share with cows and pigs and other farm animals.

The lady points up at a star just over the barn and whilst the bloke looks up to see it she pops the baby out and calls it Jesus. Loads of locals hear the baby crying and come to have a butchers.

Three really clever sorts then turn up with Frankenstien, Goals and Murgh Makhani which they give to the bloke and the lady.

They all live happily ever after.
