Sample of script:

 

Terry is finishing painting a toy

Mrs comes on stage

 

Terry:        Morning Mrs C, trust you had a good night’s rest.

 

Mrs:         I tried Terry, goodness knows I did try.

 

Terry:        Do I detect a problem Mrs C?

 

Mrs, yawn:    You indeed could say that, for sure. . . Saint Albatross was all over the bed, arms and legs flailing!

 

Terry:        Saint Albatross? . . I am gonna go way out on a limb and guess that would be SC.

 

Mrs:         That husband of mine is far more active when asleep than awake.

 

Terry:        Well . . . Santa does work hard.

 

Mrs:         Give your head a shake . .  Most folks all over the world would consider it a walk in the park to just work one evening a year!

 

Terry:        Well SC does quarterback the “Making A List” project.

 

Mrs:         Quarterback? . . . Santa is more like the water boy! . . He sits around looking important while the staff of elffettes feeds all the children’s letters to Santa into the database.

 

Terry:        But Santa’s wonderful smile makes every elf and elfette happy to work extra hard.

 

Mrs, dreamy:  Yes, I must admit . .  my hubby has the most beautiful smile on earth! . .  Every child on earth loves him . . and I do too!

 

Winken, Blinken and Martha come on stage

 

Mrs:         I don’t remember seeing you guys here before.

 

Terry:        Mrs Claus, let me introduce you to our newest elves . . . I named them Winken, Blinken and Martha.

 

Mrs, disbelief:  Winken, Blinken and . . . Martha? . . .  You called her . . . Martha?

 

Terry:        Yes . .  yes I did! . . . And Martha just loves her name!

 

Martha:      Yes Ma’am, I do love my name! . . . And very pleased to meet you Mrs. Claus!

 

Mrs, to Terry:  You never thought of calling her . . .  Nod?

 

Terry, Winken, Blinken and Martha, shake their heads, giggle in unbelief

 

Terry:        Whoever thought of an elf named . .  Nod? . . . I mean it is just so . . not with it!

 

Winken:      Cliche!

 

Blinken:      So . . . plain!

 

Martha:      So . . . just not me! . .  I mean, I needed a name that has . . zoom . . pizzazz . . effect!

 

Terry:        And it came to me just like a . .  wow! . . Her name’s gonna be Martha!

 

Mrs:         Well . .  Martha, Terry . .  you folks surely did hit a home run with that name!
But what say for the future we get you a database of names. .  just in case you want to spread your wings a bit Terry.

 

Terry, not convinced:
I guess it could work. . . I have used up most of the really good names . .  Tim, Dick, Harry . .  .

 

Winken:      You really oughta consider something far out . . . like John.

 

Terry:        I gotta hand it to you Winken . . . you do have the ability to think outside the box!

 

Mrs:         On another topic . . . Is it just me or is today’s elf somewhat taller than in the old days?

 

Terry:        I try to recruit the traditional elf but you gotta remember Santa’s workshop now employs over 2,000 elves. . . Trying to get that number of the smaller elf in a limited availability pool of potential employees is problematic. . . And not as easy as it sounds I tell you.

 

Mrs:         I’m not being at all critical. . . Like Santa always says . . that Terry is doing a bang up job.

 

Terry is very appreciative, rushes to take Mrs’ hand, trips and falls into a drum set

 

Blinken:      My guess is little Jeremy McIntosh in Tacoma is gonna have to settle for Play Station rather than the drum set Santa promised.

 

Martha:      I was hoping I would get to meet Santa today.

 

Mrs. looks at watch:
Well it’s only a quarter to December . . . Santa isn’t up and about a lot this far before Christmas.

 

Terry:        Guys you have to realize Santa has a big responsibility on Christmas Eve so he has to kinda save himself during the lead up to the important day.

 

Mrs:         Save himself is it? . . The jolly big guy roars around the world on Christmas Eve but in his off season his biggest journey is from his bed to the refrigerator.

 

Terry:        Santa and you have seen a ton of Christmases for sure.

 

Mrs, dreamy:  Oh my yes. . . You should have seen my young Santa; he for sure was some looker, tall, muscular.

 

Terry:        I can just imagine he must have looked great in that gorgeous white beard.

 

Mrs:         White beard . . . No he was a no beard. . . Nothing more than a scarce growth of peach fuzz when I first met him.

 

Winken:      Can’t imagine Santa without that wonderful white beard.

 

Blinken:      Yes and his spectacular red coat with white fur trim.

 

Mrs:         Well, fact is you will have to get used to some changes with Santa.

 

Martha:      Changes? . .  But Santa never changes!

 

Blinken:      Santa changing would be like . . . Santa changing!

 

Mrs:         Things happen . . . For starters no more fur trim.

 

Terry:        Santa with no fur trim? . . . That would be like . . .  I dunno . . . like . . . pasta without mayonnaise.

 

Martha:      You put mayonnaise on your pasta?

 

Winken:      Ewwwwwwwwww!

 

Mrs:         Santa fought hard but he lost!

 

Terry:        Don’t tell me . . . PETA right?

 

Blinken:      You must be from England. . . . Here at the North Pole we pronounce it . .  Peter.

 

Mrs:         No Blinken . .  Terry is referring to PETA . . . People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

 

Terry:        Animal rights activists.

 

Martha, back of hand to forehead, about to swoon:
Oh no! . . . No more Santa as we have come to know him!

 

Mrs:         Negative perspiration!

 

Winken:      “Negative perspiration”? . . . What does that mean?

 

Terry:        What does perspiration mean?

 

Winken:      Well, . .  like . .  sweat.

 

Terry:        So negative perspiration would be . . ?

 

Blinken:      Hold up there, I do believe I can connect the dots on this one. . . (thinks)
Negative perspiration would be . . . (excited)
Would mean . . . Have a ride on my golf cart! . . Am I right?

 

Mrs, raises eyebrows:
Missed it by that much. . .  Best we post Blinken to feeding the reindeer Terry.
And Blinken . . I believe Terry’s comment about negative perspiration would lead most folks to . . . “no sweat.”

 

Blinken:      Exactly! . . .That was gonna be my second choice. . . (looks at the others) . .
It was . . .  really!

 

Winken, disgusted:
Sweat? . . . Ewwwww!

 

Mrs:         And maybe best keep Winken far away from the flying reindeer!

 

Blinken:      Flying reindeer can be a problem?

 

Terry:        What can happen when crows take off and fly over? . . . Crows are small . .  Reindeer are very large. . . Extrapolate from there.

 

Mrs:         That’s one of the things I love about you Terry. . . You are never one to be subtle.

Description

It’s a quarter to December and Rudolph has lost his brilliant glow.
Santa is allergic to red dye in his uniform, oh and he is losing his memory.
Mrs. C is concerned about the new elves being hired, especially three very hard to control new recruits, Winken, Blinken and Martha.
Rudoloph was released from sick bay after eating Mexican food but earth-bound people normally concerned about crows flying overhead now have to deal with more, more!
And more bad news . . . Santa’s electronics director has grounded Rudolph due to DBS . . Diminished Brilliance Syndrome! . . The output on Rudolph’s nose, regularly 278 watts is down to 3 watts, not enough to see a chimney under a street light.
If you are looking for a family-friendly Christmas program with laughter guaranteed, this will be for you.
A silly comedy with accommodation for an optional dinner or dessert break, very usable for outreach.
