The Spirit of Christmas is Peace

This is a play about the true meaning of Christmas explained to an alien who has no idea of what Christmas is. It was adapted and written when the author had a classroom of 35 students needing to perform a Christmas play. It is a story told by a chorus of children and many angels in heaven.

Angel 1:
It’s time to celebrate Christmas again.

Angel 2:
Yes, it’s time to sing our carols once more.

Angel 3:
I hope Little Carol doesn’t miss the celebration. She has missed it 1,922 times.

Angel 4:
She always says she won’t miss it. But she always misses it. It’s too bad.

Angel 1:
Yes, her carol is sweet.

Angel 2:
Sweet – her carol is lovely.

Angel 3:
It’s more than lovely. It’s beautiful. I certainly hope she sings I this time.

Alien:
Why did God’s Son become man?

Chorus:
Remember the discouraged people”. remember the hunger? Remember the children without a school. The lonely people? The people without jobs? The sickness and the fear people sometimes have? The son of God was born to teach the spirit of Christmas.

Alien:
Which is?

Chorus:
Peace. The spirit of Christmas is peace.

Chorus:
God created man in his own image and likeness;

Alien:
His own image and likeness?

Chorus:
People–men, women and most special of all children.

Alien:
Excuse me. I’ m not from your world. Tell me about people. About men women and children.

Chorus:
We’ll show you!
