Brilliant ! You may have diva in the making !

I got my son's 'wise man' outfit on ebay, loads on there. Look out for the ones that have buy it now or BEST OFFER. My best offer was accepted so got it for £8.99 (= p&p). Probably not the bargain of the year, but needed it quickly & didn't have time to pop to town.

Well my 3yr old has been asked to be a shepherd this year in his preschool nativity but blankly declined the offer so his teacher asked us to have a word.

During tea last night we were asking him about it, playing the "daddy was a shepherd at his school " line, but he was still stating no so we asked him why -

His reply...........................................................................................

My little boy is a star.

He said he wanted to be a cow, then he wanted to be baby Jesus and when I said he was to big to be baby jesus he said "I want to be GOD"

Didn't really have a reply for that one.

Back on topic I have seen Shephards costumes on Woolies and I'm sure Asda will have them. Wish my son was something I could buy as I'm not artistic in the slightest.

Aren't the slightly ridiculous home-made costumes part of the charm of Nativity plays. Be a money saver and keep your hands in your pockets.
It would be so sad if those who couldn't afford "proffesionally" made costumes felt left out.

We havent got the money to buy a costume and the school wouldnt expect it of us anyway. I got it all ready for him tonight, an old sheet over his head, rope belt to pull it in. He will wear shorts and t shirt underneath and tea towel over the head. Looked fine! Some people in the past used heavy blankets, looked a bit cumbersome for the poor little kids lol

My mum sent me to the Nativity Play with a checkered Tea Towel for my head, that was tied round with my sisters chord from her dressing gown. For the smock I used my own dressing gown. This was not unusual in the 1950's as all the other shepherds had similar costumes.

If I could post a picture I would :eek: but I am glad I can't
