It's a Wonder-Full Life

A group of kids have just finished their Christmas musical. While putting away the Christmas set, one child, Foster, begins complaining. He would rather forgo the manger and all the Christmas "stuff" to go home and open presents. Suddenly, Terrance appears and the children believe him to be Mr. T, the church janitor. To show the real meaning of Christmas, Terrance talks to God asking Him to remove Christmas. Instantly, the entire Christmas scene disappears. The Christmas tree has no lights and the manger is absent from the nativity scene. The children realize that Jesus is the reason for the season. Their hearts change, especially Foster's, and they see the promise that the tiny Baby brought to the world. Songs include: Overture (We Want Christmas and Jesus Is the Reason); It's A Wonder-Full Life; Jesus Is the Reason; I Want Presents; Jesus Means Christmas to Me; We Want Christmas; Let Your Light Shine Out; Ring Out the News of Jesus; He Is the Present and It's a Wonder-Full Life Reprise (with For Unto Us a Child is Born and Hallelujah Chorus). Grades 3-6. Duration 45 minutes.
