The Gift Of Christmas
A Christmas One-Act
Joann S. Dawson

It is Christmas Eve. All over town people are preparing for Christmas. Amid the hustle and bustle of the night a little church is open and prepared for any visitor. For some people on this night the scene at the little church's altar will be a lifesaver.

Here is a Christmas Eve drama in modern-day setting. It includes parts for six adults, four teenagers and seven children.

Scripture, read by a narrator, are from Luke. Three familiar Christmas carols, for singing by the congregation, are part of the drama. Performance time is 15 to 20 minutes.

JoAnn S. Dawson is lay speaker at the Salem United Methodist Church, Wilmington, Delaware, for which she wrote this Christmas play.
