The Importance Of Christmas Play Scripts In Our Modern Lives

By Dianne Crane


Jesus is the inspiration to Christians all around the world. There are many stories that are based on His life, and perhaps the most inspiring one is that which tells us how He was born. The magic of this moment that was captured by the shepherds is told to use through Christmas play scripts and these serve to help us relive the magic of Christmas.

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.

Many of these stories bring their own share of wonder and magic. Add Santa Claus and one gets new and varied dimensions, some of which are really fantastic. Of course, Santa and his sleigh bells will be a part of every Christmas tale that is told. He is the inspiration for the children and the way he brings them toys is second only to the story of the stork bringing babies.

This season will find the stories that are written deal directly or indirectly with the actual sequence of events that leads to birth of Jesus. It shows who are involved and how the events took place. Joseph being the father is mentioned in many stories and so also is the mother Mary. The shepherds find their place in some while a few deals exclusively with the Wise Men who come visiting Jesus.

There are few stories that highlight how Joseph evades the soldiers and of the Magi warning him about the plot hatched to kill Jesus. There are some which actually depict Herod in person as a character who is blinded with his hatred. It shows how love for power can be very detrimental to the well being of a person.

Scripts are written for the sake of the children. They help to make the children understand what their religion is all about. It helps them appreciate the Glory of Christ. It brings out the advantages of being a Christian, one who is ready to share and care for his neighbors. All the dramas show how one could be a better Christian in his or her life.

One involves children during this season of love and sharing through the dramas. Children are made to play some part in the enactment so that they find what they need to do in order to be real Christians. By fostering the spirit of love one crates morally responsible citizens who understand their duties better. The children find that their involvement is brought to the fruition only when they are willing to share for their brethren.

There are stories that inspire and these Christmas play scripts have continued to inspire generations of people. Maybe some of them are skeptical, since many of these events happened so long ago. But it is the spirit of sharing and the ability to receive love that makes man different from the animals. It is the one thing that man as a social being shares more than anything in the world.
