About This Book

A short Christmas play staged on a house roof in which seasonal personifications come alive: Jack Frost summons Wind Fairies and Snow Fairies, rouses a dozing Chimney worried about Santa’s descent, and sets wind and snow in motion to prepare the night for holiday visitors. Written for both reading and performance, the script mixes spoken parts, songs, and descriptive stage directions so children can follow or act it, and it concludes with practical notes on costumes, scenery, and simple effects to facilitate lively amateur productions that emphasize wholesome seasonal customs and spirit.
