Good Lord. I’ve been put in charge of the Christmas nativity this year, which is a terrifying and alarming prospect. With over seven different religions and 15 ethnic groups at the school, the traditional Bible story is usually adapted to ensure we’re inclusive. I’m still not exactly sure how to adapt one sacred religious story, to turn it into a mishmash of seven different religious stories, five of which don’t recognise Christmas at all.

And then I’ve got to pick a girl to play the Virgin Mary, a process that I am sure will produce scarier scenes that those on America’s Next Top Model. I mean seven year old actually really know how to pull each other’s hair.
