Welcome to Optimism does nativity
It's the month of December and what better
way to honour the festive season than with a traditional Nativity display?
Well, with help from various staff here at W+K, we have done it!
However,
traditional it certainly isn’t (nothing is ever ordinary in this place). Never
have we seen Nativity elicit comments such as, ‘My dear God, what’s happened
there?’ and ‘Hmm…slightly controversial’.
Hardly surprising, given the nature of
our characters. This unorthodox ensemble, on a straw base, set against a starry
night sky, makes for one unsettling scene.
We expected nothing less, though, so
big thanks to:
Lisa Jelliffe for her humongous
Mary, Emma Wright for her unusual Joseph, Chloe for her dolly Jesus, Neil
Christie for his illuminated Angel Gabriel, KJ, Kirsten and Jody for their take
on the sheep, Anders for his creative Donkey…
…Sammy + Joseph for their scary
goats, Caroline and Angharad for their shepherds, KJ, Ronny and Joseph
for their weird Wise Men, Emma Simmons for her cute Inn Keeper and
Leanne for her traditional old stable.
And to top this, we now have a
beautifully decorated tree in Reception ready for our secret Santa gifts to go under.
These will be given out at our Stars in their Eyes Christmas party next week.
Mince
pies at the ready people, it’s getting festive up in here!
