True Meaning of Christmas Double Play - Christian Church Skit for Children
What's better than a skit teaching little kids about the true meaning of Christmas? Two, of course! I was asked if I could write a skit for our Birthday Party for Jesus. It went over very well, so I was asked to write another skit a couple of years later.
Both of the skits have the same purpose of presenting the true meaning of Christmas. They were written for a Christian, Lutheran (Missouri Synod) church activity, though I'm sure they would work fine for your church without much effort. These

Christmas Christmas Program - "Who's the Best?"

This program was initially presented by a Christian elementary school which included grades Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grad
