The Guiding Star(s): (Narration 1) “Welcome, everyone, to a night so bright, Where stars twinkle above with gentle light. Christmas is not a merry time for all, as Wendy Cope makes clear in this perfectly executed poem, reproduced below. Comedic talent is as underrated in the world of poetry as it is in other art forms, but Cope is a virtuoso whose highly skilled work dazzles with irony, wit, and parody. She has been called “a jet-age Tennyson” for her pitch-perfect common touch: This Christmas will be painful for many faced with empty chairs around the dinner table. From 1849, In Memoriam captures the loss of one of Tennyson’s dear friends, including the now immortal line “’tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”. It articulates a stirring sense of resolve in the face of sadness, the speaker determined to leave the darkness of the world behind him, and instead face the light of the future. In the moment evoked by the poem, the bells ring with hope. The Guiding Star(s): (Narration 2) Let’s peek at the animals on this holy night.” Scene 4: The Dancing Animals Narrated by a guiding star, the play takes the audience through the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. It emphasizes themes of hope, joy, kindness, and sharing, making it not just a play but a heartwarming experience for all involved. Run Time and Adaptability

Transition Song: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” (A gentle start, fitting with the starry theme.) Scene 2: Mary and Joseph’s Journey A number of elements were used as inspiration for other programs. The 'lights on a well known building being accidentally switched off' gag is used by comedian Peter Kay at the end of his Live at the Top of the Tower DVD, while the turkey scene inspired a scene in an episode of Friends titled " The One with All the Thanksgivings", and later led to an adaptation for the film Bean, though it was cut out of the international release (outside North America) and reserved for a special feature section entitled "Bean Scenes Unseen". [6] Another turkey gag was used in the Mr. Bean: The Animated Series episode "Dinner for Two". Encourage the children to express joy and excitement in their dance to convey the celebratory mood of the scene. This heartwarming script is perfect for infant schools and promises to bring the true spirit of Christmas to your school’s festivities. Table of Contents Description: A group of children, possibly with one having a speaking line announcing Jesus’ birth. Others can sing or do simple choreographed movements.Matthew 2:10: "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." Christmas Bible Verses for Holiday Cards Bean heads to a local Christmas market and meets his girlfriend, Irma Gobb. Irma drags Bean to a jewellery shop window and points at a ring she wants, but Bean buys a picture of a couple next to it, thinking this is what she is pointing to. This moving poem, showing the hope and light that is associated with Christmas, comes to us from the Anglo-Irish poet who was father of the Hollywood legend Daniel. In his early years, Day-Lewis was a Marxist who became a member of the British Communist party, and was influenced by his university friend WH Auden; but he became a much more traditional lyric writer, and an unlikely establishment figure who was awarded the role of poet laureate in 1968. Additional roles include dancing animals in the stable, additional angels, shepherds, and stars, allowing flexibility for more children to participate. The dance can be unchoreographed, allowing the children to enjoy the moment in their own way, showcasing their personalities.

Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

This takes place on Epiphany, the 12th day of Christmas. Here, Eliot tells the story of the nativity from the unusual perspective of one of three Magi (kings) themselves, emphasising the difficulty of their journey and their feelings of alienation when presented with the birth of Christ – and an entire new faith. Luke 2:10: "And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.'" The narrator(s) can deliver these lines with warmth and expressiveness, making the audience feel appreciated and part of the celebration.
