Enjoy Christmas with Christmas plays and skits for kids in home parties

Christmas play is one of the ideal entertaining and educational activities for children around Christmas season. Parents can take their kids to the theater to watch classic traditional and religious Christmas plays. And they can also have a magical Christmas journey together to the Disney World. If these do not sound appealing to you, you can consider this good idea, that is, to encourage your children into a short Christmas skit joint with your neighbors while hosting a home party. A homemade Christmas play can be the stage for the little ones and the spring of funs for the viewers. The most important thing is to search for appropriate Christmas play scripts. The length should be moderate and the stage setting should be simple for the purpose of easy preparation.

To pick out the right Christmas play/skit, some foremost points should be concerned:

• What age group is intended to perform and view the play?
• Is this play religious?
• Are there any off-color jokes/humor?
• How many characters are in the play? Can any of them switch genders easily?
• What kind of costuming is needed?
• How many props do you need to find?
• Does the play require extensive settings?

Here are some short and interesting Christmas play/skit scripts for you to get freely.
This site offers short Christmas plays, dramas and skits for children.
This Christmas play is acted with animal puppets discussing Jesus’s birthday, very funny for young kids.
This is a Christmas skit for the young scout teams with short lines and little extra costumes and stage sets.

It is fun coaching the kids in Christmas play rehearsals, while it is dear to record the joyous scenes with a camcorder. Each rehearsal can be morphed into Take 1, Take 2…until the real debut kicks off. Then keep these pieces of enjoyable memories safe on DVD disc. You can relive the scenes and resurrect the funs any times you want in the future. Just add the skill points below to your chief concern after you have recorded the Christmas play rehearsals.

Use a video converter to help you patch multiple shoots up in a natural order.
The practical skill is to merge all video files generated by separate recordings. If you produce the heading for the Christmas play afterwards, you will need to rearrange the order of merge that sees fit. In Leawo Video Converter, these are the easiest moves you can make:
a. "Add" in all the clips;
b. hit "Move Up" or "Move Down" to reorder;
c. check the option "Merge into one file";
d. select profile "Common Video – DVD Video Format (*.vob)";
e. hit the big button to start the merge and convert process.
The generated DVD Video Format file is in Leawo’s output folder via "Open" button.
. Use Nero Burning Rom or any other DVD burning tools to carve the videos on DVD disc. Start the burning process at a lower speed than the one claimed by the DVD-R disc. This will help preserve the data longer on the DVD disc.

If you have read the story, you should be very familiar with the Christmas symbols listed below. If otherwise, you can get to know Christmas traditions by picking up the origin of these Christmas symbols which are the important parts of the story and have now become widely favorite decorations around Christmas season.

Advent Wreath

Four candles placed on a wreath. One candle is lit each Sunday before Christmas in anticipation of Christ’s birthday.

Angel

An angel told the shepherds of the birth of Jesus. Angels come in many forms for Christmas decorations including the tree topper. 

Bells

Church bells rang to announce the birth of Jesus. They still ring today. 

Candles

Candles represent the light that Jesus brought to earth. Pagans who converted to Christianity used candles on the sacred evergreen tree. 

Christmas Cards

For many years, private notes of good tidings were sent at Christmas time. In 1843, Sir Henry Cole had 1000 special designed cards printed. The custom of sending Christmas cards began. 

Christmas Caroling

Caroling is a medieval custom of singing and dancing around a Christmas tree. Early carols weren’t holy enough for singing inside a church, so caroling was done outside. 

Christmas Cookies

Originated with pre-Christian Romans who gave sweet cakes to their senators. 

Christmas Seals

A Danish postal clerk sold Christmas stamps (Christmas seals) to show that users had given to a worthy cause. 

Christmas Stocking

There is a legend associated with the origin of Christmas stockings. St. Nick, who wanted to remain anonymous and help a poor family, threw gold coins down their chimney. They fell into a stocking that was hanging there to dry.

Christmas Tree Lights

The lights represent Christ as being the "Light of the World." Lights also represent stars. Candles were first used as lights on the Christmas tree. 

Evergreen Tree

The evergreen tree was decorated by the pagans at the feast of the winter solstice. The evergreen tree was a sign that winter would end. 

Icicles

Icicles are sometimes used as a tree decoration. As per an old story, the Christ child took shelter for a night under a pine tree. When the tree realized that it was caring for Jesus, tears of happiness fell from its branches. The tears froze into icicles. 

Mistletoe

A sprig of evergreen plant hung at Christmas time. Custom is that people can kiss each other standing under it. 

Reindeer

Reindeer were the animals chosen by St. Nicholas to pull his sleigh. His reindeers’ names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is the most famous.

The wish is old,The wish is true,A merry Christmas,My friends, to you

In DecemberWe RememberOur special friends

So just because you'reFar away, don't thinkFor a moment that you're forgotten.I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New YearFull of wonderful things.Wish we could be together.

We make a living by what we getbut we make a life by what we give.

Peace on earth will come to stay,When we live Christmas every day

The greatest gift of Christmasis the one we've already gotten long ago.

He's seen in the smilesThe whole world is sharing,He's found where there's friendshipAnd loving and caring,He's felt in warm handshakesWhen people are meetingHe's heard in the cheer ofA Christmas time greetingHis spirit's behind all theGifts we receiveHe's everywhere, alwaysTo those who believe! 

Merry Christmas to the one I love,Even on this day of love for all,Remembering the love of one whose callRedeemed all those whose hearts his love might move.Yet only one love does my spirit prove,Chosen in a passion like a squall,Having in such ecstasy withalRejoiced in what we were created of.In such love do we find our way outdoors,So to be drawn to love of flesh and soul,Traveling beyond our village green,Moving towards the wash along our shoresAs our love joins the greater love unseen,Shining with dark passion on the whole.

Thou whose birth on earthAngels sang to men,While the stars made mirth,Savior, at thy birthThis day born again. As this night was brightWith thy cradle-ray,Very light of light,Turn the wild world's nightTo thy perfect day. Bid our peace increaseThou that madest morn,Bid oppressions cease;Bid the night be peaceBid the day be born. 

Now that you're celebratingYour graduation day,Your whole life is ahead of you,And the Lord will lead the way.Just trust in Him to guide youIn His divine and perfect will.If you'll pray and read His Holy Word,His plan you will fulfill.Whatever happens in your life,On the Lord you can depend.There's nothing you can't handleWith Jesus as your best friend.Congratulations, and may the Lord bless you always!

Earning salvation the world's wayIs impossible to do.Man tells us to be better;Jesus asks us to be new.

The unconditional love of Christ,That reaches deeper than we know,Exists not because of what we are,But "in spite of," "anyhow," and "even though."

Put your problems on probationRun your troubles off the track,Throw your worries out the windowGet the monkeys off your back.Silence all your inner criticsWith your conscience make amends,And allow yourself some happinessIt's Christmas time again!Call a truce with those who bother youLet all the fighting cease,Give your differences a breatherAnd declare a time of peace,Don't let angry feelings taintThe precious time you have to spend,And allow yourself some happinessIt's Christmas time again!Like some cool refreshing waterOr a gentle summer breeze,Like a fresh bouquet of flowersOr the smell of autumn leaves,It's a banquet for the spiritFilled with family, food and friends,So allow yourself some happinessIt's Christmas time again!

There's nothing like ChristmasAnd woods deep in snowTo make us rememberThe dear long ago.Down life's weary highway,Years pass single file,But deep in us allLives a bit of the child.The same breathless wonderFloods over us whenThe gray skies lose snowflakesThat dance in the wind.Smoke curling from chimneys,A white windowpane,And dear thoughts returnAnd old joys remain.The tinkle of sleigh bellsAcross a still night,A warm, shadowed hearthWhose embers burn bright.A colorful afghanThrown over a chair,Green holly entwinedDown the length of a stair.The candlelit churchAnd the golden bells tellOf chapters each heartRemembers so well.Oh, there's nothing like ChristmasAnd woods deep in snowTo make us rememberThe dear long ago.

There was an old fellow named ClausWith a case of the mid-winter blahs.Taught his reindeer to flySo they took to the sky.The taps on your roof may be paws.

Twas the month after Christmas and all through the houseNothing would fit me, not even a blouse.The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste.All the holiday parties had gone to my waist.When I got on the scales there arose such a number!When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheeseAnd the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirtAnd prepared once again to do battle with dirt---I said to myself, as I only can"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chipEvery last bit of food that I like must be banishedTill all the additional ounces have vanished.I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore---But isn't that what January is for?Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

I sit atop your Christmas tree,All clad in pink, a real fairy.The reason I appear to smirk,The sprig of spruce stuck up my skirt.

Christmas may be cancelledThe reindeer are on strikeSanta's stuck in LaplandForget your brand new bikeChristmas isn't cancelledRoyal Mail saves the dayPostmen playing SantaExpect that bike mid-May

Christmas was comingThe goose was getting fatSo I put it on the Atkins dietAnd now it's had a heart attack.

'Twas the night before Fridayand all through the town,no cops were cruising,no narks were around.As we all rolled our jointsto be put in our sacks,we knew that soonwe'd be stoned to the max.We drank Jack Daniel'sAnd smoked Panama Red,a hit of teaand man I felt dead.We were all up that midnightall of the day, whenthere was a knock at the doorthat gave us away.There stood a manwearing a smile,so we invited him into party a while.What to our red,glassy eyes should appear,two pounds of Columbiaand a case of beer.So we sat downand he started to roll,filled up a glassand lit up a bowl.We ask the manwhat was his name,he said Saint Nicholand drugs is my fame.So as the manstrutted out of sight,he said mari-ju-ana to alland to all a good night.
