Henry and Charlie are having a little Christmas pageant at school in a couple of weeks. The program is called “Wriggly Nativity” and involves some Wiggles-style singing and dancing. For weeks now, they have been singing the songs and doing the dance moves together, which makes my cold dead heart melt a little because there is nothing cuter than kids hollering a song about camels. And dancing! So cute.
The kids need little costumes for this extravaganza, nothing fancy, just a tee shirt and a simple headpiece. The tee shirt part is easy (hello, SuperTarget!) but the headpiece has been making me a little nervous. Especially since Henry is a chicken — yes, you heard me a CHICKEN — and Charlie is a star. When I first heard about the chicken, I panicked a little because holy hell what does a CHICKEN wear in the Christmas pageant? How do I make a CHICKEN headpiece?
I should have been worrying about the damn star.
