(Sunday School Version)
Contributed by Leanne Guenther
SCRIPT:
Adapted by Richard L. Bush from the original version by Leanne
Guenther
Start with people dressed in Christmas or holiday clothes ' mom, two children
and three puppets having a conversation around a table with puppet stage in
background. Cue (script) words can be placed on table. Mom and Children are
facing congregation.
Child 2: "Because it makes me sad that we get to have Christmas and people
in Hawaii don't"
Children and puppets together (at the same time), "Because they don't
have any snow!"
Mom: "You don't need snow to have Christmas!" In fact, there was no snow
where Baby Jesus was born!
... Then Children or adults come on the stage and dance with the following
music playing:
Mele Kalikimaka (A Hawaiian Christmas Song)
Three Puppets sing this song, while children and adults dressed up in
Hawaiian outfits do a bit of a hula dance.
Children remain at table
Child 2: "That was AWESOME! I expect to see the Hawaii 5-0 guys any
minute!"
(or substitute Lilo and Stitch for Hawaii 5-0)
The two children look at each other and shake their heads slowly
Puppet 1: "And Santa wears those fur lined boots and all..."
Puppet 1: 'With that comment, I really think you have the brains of a squirrel!
Puppet 3: "It's really hot there in Australia you know! The reindeer couldn't
stand the heat!"
Both children and puppets (at the same time): "You can't have Christmas
without Reindeer!"
Mom: "Wonderful! (with a bit of frustration in her voice) NOW we can have
Christmas, right?" (emphasize right)
Child 2: "Think of all the people who don't speak English... You can't have
Christmas if you can't speak English!"
Puppet 2: 'DUUGGGHHH-=-Sorry!'
Child 1: "Yeah! you couldn't even sing Silent Night. What would Christmas
be without Silent Night!?"

All Puppets and Children (look at each other with a really happy
expression): "Wow!!!"
Mom: "Nope!"
Mom: "Hmmm, I think people no matter what country they're from, just need
a bit of love, faith in Jesus Christ and appreciation of what his birth is all
about."

the season- no matter where you live!'
