A whale in a manger... This week we realised we must start pretending like we are prepared for Christmas and how better to prepare than to look at the true meaning of Christmas. No, not presents, office parties, eggnog, fancy decorations or turkey. The Nativity scene. When our Lord gave us Christmas and kindly shared his birthday with all of us so we all get presents come the 25th December. Hurrah. Many a school Nativity play will be commencing at this time so we decided to cast our own Nativity play featuring the people we'd most like to hear drone the dirge of a carol Away in a Manger...
1. Nick Offerman (aka Ron Swanson), the wisest of men. Give him 30 minutes and a chisel and that stable would be a palace fit for the son of any god of your choice. Actually let's just use the entire cast of Parks And Recreation. Amy Poehler as Mary, Chris Pratt as Joseph (complete with his dinosaur posse from the Jurassic World trailer), and Aziz Ansari as the little babby Jesus.Gareth
2. For my Celebrity Nativity Scene I'd have a Hollywood dynasty. Ok so I'm not so savvy on the little ones so I'm not sure who would play the bundle of Joy JC. But there'd be a hell of a lot f Coppolas. Director Francis Ford Coppola would be one of the wise Kings, Director daughter Sofia would be Mary, Surprise Coppolas (the nephews) Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman would be the shepherds. Maybe new director granddaughter Gia-Carla Coppola would take the main stage as baby Jesus with her departed father actor Gian-Carlo Coppola as an angel looking down on the whole Nativity scene. Squeamish Nicola
3. For the baby Jesus I'd have Russell Brand, as he seems to think he's the son of God. Mary would have to be the fecund Duchess of Cambridge, the three wise men would be Paxman in triplicate, and I can't remember who else you need in a nativity. Where I grew up one didn't have such things...F1Kate
4. Are the Kardashians still relevant? Can I have them? With Kanye has Jesus, natch. Squeamish Kate
