With young children acting out a number of the roles including Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, wise men and some of the animals in the stable, it always helps to get everyone in the festive mood.
We’ve had a look through the Carrick Times archive to find these brilliant photos from Nativity plays at local schools over the years between 2006 and 2014.
Have a look and see if there is anyone you recognise.
Hopefully they bring back some happy memories.
