Good things come in small packages [Christmas drama]

Performance: Castle Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church Christmas Concert - December 21, 2019

[Chris walks in, optionally whistling “We three kings”, carrying a chair and sits centre stage toward the audience. As sits down Courier comes in.]

Courier: Christmas gift for... Chris?

Chris: That’s me! Who’s it from?

Courier: Err... [looks at phone].... God?? Sign here, please.

[Chris signs Courier’s phone, a tiny gift, size of a wedding ring box, is handed over and courier leaves. Chris looks at it a little confused and then begins to try and open it, but doesn’t make any progress before Courier enters again.]

Courier: Sorry, had another Christmas gift for you too. Sign here.

Chris: Who’s this one from? [signs]

Courier: Err.... Ssss-tan?? [hands over shoe box size gift]

Chris: Who's Stan?

Christmas Birthday Speech [a fun motivational speech for those who suffer with birthdays near Christmas]

Performance: Castle Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church Christmas Concert - December 14, 2019

While being asked to share a memory about Christmas i started reflecting, and the more i reflected of Christmases past, the more upset I got.
You see, there are some who are less fortunate during the annual Christmas festivities.
It is those who have birthdays around Christmas.

Is there anyone here who, like myself, has a birthday close to Christmas??
Please come up and make a stand with me, for this historic moment.

For too long, people like us have suffered during Christmas. Patiently we have waited, all year, as we celebrate everyone else’s birthdays. And when it finally comes to our birthdays, all we get are but a brief mention, and then everyone collectively moves on to Jesus' birthday celebrations. And it’s not even his real birthday date, peoples!

It is now, after all these years, that we make a stand.
