(Someone can make a hammer noise in the background, maybe the
puppets could do that.)
Yes, said Papa it sounds like a hammer. Yea, someone is building a
shelter for us. God has answered our prayers. Praise God!
And the story goes that the shelter was built and Papa and Mama had a
place for their new baby, and all their family. A place that was out of the
cold, dreary night. Almost like when Mary and Joseph were looking for
a place to have baby Jesus on a night like tonight.
Stand children and face the star of wonder, star of night.
(Star Of Wonder Star Of Night)
(A star will be shining over the manger.) Children now follow the star
and exit while song is playing.
After song children leave the stage and change their costumes while the
choir sings O’ Holy Night.
(Grandma ------leaves stage also and helps children put costumes
on.)
Narrator----(Walks out and on her scroll reads the story of Jesus)---
------A long time ago, in the town of Nazareth, lived a young woman
named Mary.
(Mary comes out without Joseph)
Mary did her chores, was kind to others, and loved God very much.
She was engaged to be married to Joseph, who was a carpenter.
One day, while Mary was at home cleaning her room, an angel suddenly
www.skits-o-mania.com 5
appeared.
(Angel comes out)
Before Mary could say anything the angel told Mary that she was
favored by God, and that God was with her.
Mary was surprised. She was trying not to be afraid, but she had never
seen an angel before. After all, Mary was just a regular lady.
The angel quickly tried to reassure Mary, "Do not be afraid!" the angel
said. "God has found favor with you. You will have a baby boy, and are
to give him the name Jesus."
Mary was confused, she was not yet married to Joseph, so how could she
have a baby? The angel thought that this might concern Mary so he
said, "The Holy Spirit will perform a miracle, and because of this your
baby will be called the Son of God."
To Mary's surprise the angel had more exciting news; "Even your
cousin Elizabeth is going to have a son in her old age. Many thought
that she couldn't have children, but she is already pregnant. Nothing is
impossible with God."
Mary couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't know what to
say. She realized that she was trembling, and knelt down. When she
was finally able to speak she said, "I am the Lord's servant, and I hope
everything you have said will come true."
The angel then disappeared and Mary was left alone.
Soon after Joseph found out that Mary was going to have a baby.
(Joseph walks out towards Mary)

Joseph was confused and upset by this. But an angel came to him in a
dream and said, "Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
The child Mary is going to have is God's son, and you are to give him
the name Jesus."
When Joseph woke up he remembered what the angel had said. He
knew that everything was okay, and he wasn't upset anymore.
In those days the government decided that they should count everyone
that lived in that area of the world. So Joseph had to take Mary to his
town, Bethlehem to register.
It took Mary and Joseph a long time to get to Bethlehem.
When they reached the town all the hotels were full and there was
nowhere that they could stay.
(Innkeepers are in their place, one is to use their hands to say go
away while Mary and Joseph keep looking for a place.)
Narrator----In Bethlehem, there was no room at the inns. Mary and
Joseph stood in front of those innkeepers, who sent them away.
One innkeeper and his wife, seeing she was with child, showed them to a
manger where they would be warm.
(Mary & Joseph go behind manger and are hidden until baby is
born.)
Narrator continues to read.)
(Sheep and Shepherds) Come out first.
-----------------------------------------------------------
That night some shepherds were in the fields near Bethlehem, keeping
watch over their flocks of sheep.

Angel 1------ (appears and points to the manger)
An angel appeared to them and gave them the good news that a Savior,
the Messiah, had been born.
The angel told the shepherds they could find Jesus lying in a manger.
(A cry of a baby can be heard in the background.)
(Mary & Joseph come out from behind the manger with the baby
Jesus.)
Angel 2.----Another angel walks out and stands with the first one
and they raise their hands in the air.)
Narrator---- Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill
toward men!"
( Shepherd walks out with his crock and goes over by the manger)
The shepherds hurried into Bethlehem and found Jesus in the manger,
just as the angel had told them. After they had seen Jesus, they spread
the news, and everyone who heard was in awe.
(The children walk around and pretend to tell all the news.)
Wise men from the East came to worship Jesus, bringing gifts of gold,
frankincense, and myrrh.
(A star will be shining over the manger.)
All children gather around the Narrator and pick up their signs to
