The parties we throw are absolutely awesome! My team came up with a drama/skit to perform. It’s titled “The BEST Gift Ever!” We do it all in spanish as well. It’s about two boys named Tito (Dex) and Estevan (Me). Estevan is super excited to exchange gifts with Tito, but when they go to exchange gifts, Tito forgot to get him a gift. Tito then goes off and looks for a gift and discovers a girl from our team playing the guitar. He asks the girl if she knew of the BEST gift ever and she suggests the gift of MUSIC. That’s when we all come out and sing Jingle Bells and Away in a Manger in Spanish. After we sing, Tito decides that it’s not the best gift for his friend. He continues on his search and sees a girl playing games. He stops her and asks her if she had ideas for the BEST gift ever. She suggests the gift of GAMES. We then play the 12 Days of Christmas game with different actions for each day. After we get done playing, Tito decides that games isn’t the best gift ever. He continues to search and finally is about to give up when Jesus comes in and asks him what was wrong. Jesus then asks Tito to follow him and then we go into the second part of the play……
The main point we are trying to get across is that Jesus is the light. We give Jesus a candle to represent His light. We then set up situations the light of Jesus is the only thing to make things better. For instance, we have Mary crying and sobbing and Tito tries to help her out. When Tito can’t console her, he calls upon Jesus to help. Jesus comes in and restores her and then Jesus gives her His candle. Then we switch to another person who is sad because her parents are arguing. So the first person that received the light of Jesus comes in to console the person who is sad because her parents are fighting. She tries to console the sad person, but then again calls upon Jesus to step in. Once Jesus finishes consoling her, Mary (from the first scene) passes the light of Jesus to Keryn (from the second scene) who then goes on to continue passing the light of Jesus to two other people in two other scenes. Tito is witnessing all of this and realizes that the BEST gift ever is the gift of Jesus Christ. Once all of the scenarios are over, the people involved in the scenes all take a bow before Jesus and then Tito comes over to find Estevan and take him to Jesus so they can both bow before Jesus. That truly is the BEST GIFT EVER.
