About This Book

A short theatrical entertainment for children depicts a home on Christmas Eve where sleepy children await a hidden gift-giver. Stage directions set the parlor with stockings and a concealed tree; songs and comic stage business accompany the entrance of Santa, who fills stockings, inspects gifts, and magically unveils the lit Christmas tree before distributing presents. The script includes musical cues, costumes, and practical staging notes for amateur performers and emphasizes playful spectacle, surprise, and domestic warmth suited to private or community holiday performances.
