Christians of every time and place have been inspired by the stories from the past. One of the all time favorites are the Christmas play scripts of the birth of Jesus Christ and the wonder that spread throughout the land when the shepherds saw the little child. One knows how the Wise Men travelled from faraway lands to bless the child on Christmas day.
There are many stories which involve lots of interesting characters and tell of wondrous deeds. Some of these deal with the chase where Herod wants to kill the Baby Jesus as soon as He comes to know about the news of His birth. Some of them tell us different versions of the story and yet others tell us how Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer got involved.
There is a lot of wonder and excitement in all these tales. Santa Claus is one of the main characters mainly because he is the bringer of gifts. He makes children to fall into a pattern of make-belief where the good gets rewarded and the bad get left out. The sleigh bells continue to be the very basis for those wonderful nights when Christmas seems to become a fairy tale.

The shepherds find their place in some while a few deals exclusively with the Wise Men who come visiting Jesus.

The Wise Men who warn Joseph about the plan Herod has to kill and this is enough for Joseph to escape. This script is an action script and maost if not all the seniors will find it amusing.
It is not the scripts that are written that matter. It is the spirit in the season and the way the children are brought into close contact with the religion.
