Great Nativity Play Lines

The children's Nativity Play is a staple of most churches in Britain. I attended a delightful one last week performed by the Sunshine Preschool which is located at our Rush Hill Church. This weekend I was reading an article in the Observer about some of the wonderful, spontaneous ad libs that are made within these plays. One particular play had Mary forgetting her lines as she was telling Joseph that she was going to have a baby 'by the Holy Spirit.' Knowing the gist of what she was supposed to say she informed Joseph: "Joseph, I'm going to have a baby. And you're not the father!" Priceless.
