The Springfield Nativity

Hannah and Megan are at a fabulous girls only school in Wynberg, Cape Town, called Springfield. Normally the nativity play is in the open air theatre in the school grounds, but unfortunately this year we had a rainy November so it was in the main school hall.

It was completely gorgeous, but we were very worried about Megan's big performance! She was one of the main parts, the star of Bethlehem. Now to give everyone a chance, a group of the girls are cast a narrators and the main parts don't speak. Well Megan was completely HORRIFIED that she wasn't speaking.

On the Friday that was the concert, she came home from school in a foul mood. She was rude, grumpy and plain miserable. After a bit of terrible behaviour, I sat her down. I told her that the star of Bethlehem really doesn't behave like this. Her answer... "The star of Bethlehem does NOTHING. It's a waste of time."

Needless to say, we were waiting for her to grump up onto the stage! But all our fears were unfounded and she was a complete star!

Hannah's little nursery class came on first as angels and were beautiful!

The star of Bethlehem all made up!
