I'm not sure why I felt so strongly about reenacting the Nativity on Christmas Eve. Maybe because we were away from family, who would also be doing it. We were frightfully under-casted, (is that a word?), but I still insisted. Maybe it was because, for once in my life, I could be Mary. (uh oh, childhood complexes arising to haunt me??)
