This play is actually a leadin for the song The Perfect Tree which is found on Ray Boltz's A Christmas Album
Cast:
Setting: Suggest a room with a Christmas tree in progress. There should be a door or something to suggest a door with room for the carolers on the other side.
Props: Christmas tree and ornaments
=======================================================================Child 2 (hangs and ornament and steps back to look at it.)
Child 1 (bossy) : That's crooked. Can't you hang it straight?
Child 2 (whiney) : I can't do anything right. (throws down ornament) I just give up.
Child 1: Well, great! How can we have a perfect tree when you won't even try?
Child 2: I did try. You hurt my feelings. You are so perfect - you can just make your perfect tree all by youself.
Mom: I've just about had it with your fighting. What is your problem? (speaking to father) Jim, I think you've put too many lights on that side.
Dad: Maybe you'd rather do this all by yourself? I'm doing the best I can.
Mom: Sorry. You know Christmas is important to me. I just want things to be perfect.
Grandpa: Perfect, smerfect. There is no such thing as a perfect tree. Last year's tree was lopsided. That one is lopsided and scrawney.
Mom: I picked this tree out myself. Do you have to be so mean?
Grandpa : I just tell the truth. The tree is not perfect and neither are you!
Mom (crying) : But I do want it to be a perfect tree.
(knocking at door or ringing door bell)
Dad opens door
Carolers sing The Perfect Tree & then close the door
Dad : Who was that?
Grandma : I don't know but I think it was a message from God just for us. Maybe we should all stop & think about the real meaning of Christmas.
