Today is the day when schools in Huddersfield and Kirklees close their doors for the Christmas holidays.

And what a few weeks it has been in the run up to today!

Children across our area have been creating crowns, gowns and more to wear for their fantastic Christmas plays.

As well as the traditional Nativity we have wonderful new tales, fairy stories and more featuring a few contemporary characters as well as those we know well from our own childhoods.

Just click on the gallery above to see all the Nativity play pictures we received - we've put them in alphabetical order of the school to try and help you get to the particular ones you may wish to see.

If you're interested in getting the picture we've used, all images were supplied to us by the schools and nurseries in question, so just contact them directly for the image.
