No one has smiled at me like that in waaaaaaaay too long. I almost forgot what it felt like.

the christmas spirit- a short play

This is the skit I performed at the Shrub Christmas Pageant. I was The Christmas Spirit. :D

BEHOLD!

ACT I
The scene is Christmas Eve in a typical suburban house.
NARRATOR: The scene is Christmas Eve in a typical suburban house. A mother and father have come to say good night to their two sons, who are unaware of the unspeakable horror that awaits them.
MOTHER: Good night kids! And remember, go straight to sleep, because it's Christmas Eve!
FATHER: That's right! Now that you boys are over seven, The Christmas Spirit can come for you at any time!
MOTHER: He only takes you if you're awake! So go straight to sleep!
(MOTHER and FATHER start to leave)
MOTHER: Momma wants a beer!
FATHER: And remember-
Good or bad? It's not worth squat
He only cares
If you're awake or not!
FATHER (leaving room again): Good night, kids! See you tomorrow... I hope!
(FATHER leaves room)

ACT II

(THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT emerges, wearing a ski mask and robe)
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (making a hissing noise, looking around): HWEEEH!
(strides over to two sleeping kids)
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (discovering kids): HWEEEH!

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (to BOY UNDER BLANKET): HWEEEH!

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: HWEEEH!
BOY IN SLEEPING BAG: Nooooo!

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (suddenly running over to other boy): HWEEEH!
