DRAMA SCRIPT – CHRISTMAS
Earl the Elf: (Re-enters from STAGE RIGHT and goes to the wardrobe to pull out the suit.
He holds it up to Santa). Santa, why don’t you try out your suit and check if it's ready for
this Christmas?
Santa: (Holds Santa suit up so the audience can see how small it is compared to him) I think
it will fit.
Elf # 4: Why don’t you get a running start like a bull, Santa. I’ll go over there and hold the
suit and you run and jump into it. (Elf goes to STAGE RIGHT)
Santa: If you say so. I can try this way as well.
Mrs. Claus: What? Nicholas, I warned you about eating all those cookies. If you can’t fit in
your suit, then there is no magic. Without magic, you’ll never get all those toys delivered.
The children will be so disappointed.
Santa: (Reaches for plate of cookies, but Mrs. Claus keeps them just out of reach) Let
me have one little cookie. It won’t ever hurt anyone.
Earl the Elf: Maybe you could have a carrot instead. Rudolph loves
carrots.
Santa: What a carrot! Do I look like a reindeer to you?
Mrs. Claus: (Smacks his hand) No.
Santa: Just one cookie. I love cookies. (Santa reaches again for the
cookies.)
Earl the Elf: (Enters STAGE LEFT just as Santa tosses the radish. It hits Earl the Elf in the
head.) Ouch! (Sits at table with Santa and Mrs. Claus and eats cookies.) These are so good!
These are the best cookies anyone ever baked. I love these cookies. These cookies are better
than snow on Christmas Eve. They are better than Christmas cakes and puddings. They are
better than—
Santa: (Interrupts Earl the Elf) I’ve been on this no cookie, no cake, no candy diet for
two weeks. I am sure the suit will fit me now. So, let me have a cookie at least?
Earl the Elf: (In a loud stage whisper to the other elves) Hey! (He shows them two Santa
suits. The one that is half the size of the first and his correct size suit. He puts his hand on
his stomach and pantomimes laughing. He throws the larger one on the ground and walks
STAGE CENTER with the smaller one.) Here you go, Santa.
Santa: (Stands) Please fit me now! I have missed out on Mrs. Claus’s delicious

chocolate chip cookies, her gingerbread cookies, and her sugar cookies.
Mrs. Claus: Oh dear! Don’t be so hard on yourself. Santa, I don’t think it is going to fit.
(Mrs. Claus holds the suit out in front of her and stares at it for a minute.) There is
something strange about this suit.
Santa: (Looks at the Santa suit. Scratches his head). Mrs. Claus! Mrs. Claus! I think you are
right! I think I know what is going on.
Mrs. Claus: What is it, Nicholas?
Santa: I think I’ve discovered why my diet isn’t working. (Holds up the small suit against
him) Do you think this is my right size? All those cookies I gave up and it was a prank? (The
elves come running in from STAGE RIGHT and dump a bucket of glitter over Santa’s head.
They hand over the real suit to Mrs. Claus, which Santa steps into easily.)
Earl the Elf: Ha ha. That was a good one, Santa, you have to admit.
Santa: It was a good prank. Just wait until summer. I’m going to get even. (They all
laugh over the joke and head off stage.)
