Synopsis

This charming Christmas play is especially designed for production by elementary school-aged youngsters.

It's easy to produce, with minimal memorization requirements.

The story is about a little girl who thinks of Christmas only in terms of getting gifts.

An angel appears and tells her the real story of Christmas, bringing the characters and events to life in her bedroom.

A warm, humourous play that is a joy for both the actors and the audience, never compromising the message or seasonal theme.

There's a very special ending when the children of the audience are invited to bring a gift for distribution to those in need.

A perfect choice for Sunday school production; easy, fun and meaningful.
