Difficulty: Easy Length: 45 minutes
A group of kids have just finished their Christmas musical. While putting away the Christmas set, one child, Foster, begins complaining. He would rather forgo the manger and all the Christmas “stuff” to go home and open presents. Suddenly, Terrance appears...the children believe him to be Mr. T, the janitor. To show the real meaning of Christmas, Terrance talks to God asking Him to remove Christmas. Suddenly, the entire Christmas scene disappears. WHERE IS CHRISTMAS?! IT NO LONGER EXISTS! The Christmas Tree now has no lights, the Christmas Bell cannot ring, the Christmas Present is empty and the manger is missing from the nativity scene. The children realize Jesus is the reason for the season and that Christmas is Jesus. Their hearts change, especially Foster’s, and they see the promise that Jesus brought to the world. They stop thinking about themselves and start thinking of others. Jesus is the reason for the Season and the reason that each of us can truly have a Wonderful Life!
