CHRISTMAS SKIT

“A long time ago there was a young woman that lived in a town called Nazareth. Her name was Mary. Can you
say Mary? (Mary) Perfect! Mary was kind to everyone, she helped her family, most of all Mary loved God. She
was engaged to a young man named Joseph. Do you know what engaged means? (pause for answers) Yes, it
means Mary was going to marry Joseph! They were very happy.

One day while Mary was working at her home something very special happened! (Pick up Angel Wings, put
them on if you want) An Angel suddenly appeared! The Angel told Mary that God was with her. Mary was
surprised. She had never seen and Angel before. She had never talked to an Angel before! Mary was just a young
woman, why did the Angel come to see her?
The Angel said, “Do not be afraid, Mary. God has found favor with you. You will have a baby boy, and you will
name him Jesus. Mary was so confused! The Angel told Mary that her baby would be the Son of God. Mary
could not believe it! But it was true. The story is right here in my Bible, (pick up Bible) And we know every story
in the Bible is.....true! (take off Angel wings)
Well, Mary and Joseph had to travel a long, long way to Bethlehem. That is the town that Joseph was from. They
did not have cars, so Mary had to ride on a donkey! They were very tired when they got to Bethlehem and
Mary’s baby was coming very soon. Joseph knocked on the door of an Inn, that's like a hotel. The Inn Keeper
said, “No room, sorry”. Can you say that? “No room, sorry.” Joseph lead the donkey down the street and
knocked on the next door. The Inn Keeper said, “No room, sorry.” (kids say again) Joseph lead the donkey to
the next door. And, what do you think the Inn Keeper said? (kids) “No room, sorry.” Right. But this Inn Keeper
saw that Mary was going to have a baby and he felt bad for her. He asked if they would like to stay in his stable.
A stable is where animal sleep and eat. (pick up stuffed animals, place on the table, ) There were sheep, cows,
donkeys, camels and maybe a lot more. (put the manger in the middle). Mary and Joseph were so happy to have
a warm place to sleep.

That night something wonderful happened! Mary and Joseph had a baby! (pick up doll and blanket) This was a
very special baby! This was baby Jesus, God’s Son! Mary wrapped Baby Jesus in a cloth and laid him in the
manger in the clean hay. (wrap the doll and put in the manger). (Put on angel wings)(pick up the lamb and the
star) There were shepherds out in the field at night, watching over their sheep. Suddenly there was a bright light!
It was a star! (hold up star) The sky was filled with Angles. The Angels said, “
Three Wise Men, heard about Jesus’ birth. They traveled a long time to find him. Do
you know what they followed to find Jesus? Yes, they followed the bright star. The Three Wise Men brought
three special gifts. The first one was Gold. Can you say Gold......perfect. The second gift was Frankincense, Can
you say Frankincense......perfect! And the third gift was Myrrh. Can you say Myrrh.....YES! ( hold up boxes as
you talk about them) The Wise Men knelt down and worship Jesus. Thy were so excited to see Him. Now, lets
stand up. We are going to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Jesus. And then I think we should cheer! Ready? (sing Happy
Birthday and then cheer) Have children sit back down.)

Wow, that was a great story. Lets pray and thank God for sending His only Son. Bow your heads and close your 8
eyes. “Dear God, thank You for giving us Jesus. He is so special. I pray each person in here will understand one
day how special a gift Jesus is to all of us. He is the BEST gift! Help us tell others about Jesus the way the
shepherds did. We want everyone to know that Jesus is Your Son and You gave Him to us to be our friend
forever. We love You, God.
