A School Holiday Pageant

Posted on Dec 3, 2007 in culture, family, witness by Wes Kenney 0 Comments

The following is from the script for my daughter’s school program, which has a 1950′s theme (poodle skirts and saddle oxfords) and is titled “Happenin’ Holidays”:

[Children enter soda shop playfully. CHILD 1 carries a bell and rings it as he walks. He stops ringing the bell]

CHILD 2: I sure do love all the decorations and ornaments at Christmas time. I think my favorite must be the bell. It lets the whole world know that Jesus was born in a manger long ago.

[CHILD 1 hands CHILD 2 the bell]

CHILD 2: Thanks for sharing your bell with me.

CHILD 3: My favorite ornament is the star. The star led the shepherds and others to baby Jesus.

CHILD 4: I love the beautiful lights. They represent the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the Light.

CHILD 5: I like the wreath. It is perfectly round. The circle never ends. Just like God’s love – it is never ending.

CHILD 6: I really like the gifts. We give gifts to represent the gifts given to Jesus by the three wise men: Gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

CHILD 7: Hey, all this talk about ornaments and decorations make me want to rock around the Christmas tree. Come on!

[Class performs "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"]

CHILD 7: Whoa, that was fun! I like all the ornaments and decorations at Christmas time, but my favorite would have to be a song. A song about Jesus being born in a manger.

CHILD 3: Hey, I know that one!

[Class performs "Away in a Manger"]
