Here is a short little play/musical that we will be performing at our Christmas Dinner. It was made for a group of 60-70 kids. I didn't add it in the script, but you could also have non-speaking parts for animals of the nativity, arrow/rock throwers with the Nephites, and a special friend to help conduct the music of the last song. I have parents do simple costumes, whatever they can find. For our star chorus, we might make paper stars for them to hold. We usually hold 1 practice on a Saturday morning for 1 hour, also 1 practice right before the dinner. Merry Christmas a little early!!

Thousands of lights adorn the grounds of the Sydney Australia Temple during the holiday season. Similar to lighting displays at other temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the presentation also features life-size nativity characters and an art show. The collection of paintings in the show chronicles the life of Jesus Christ from birth to resurrection, a story that is particularly interesting to individuals of the many non-Christian faiths who reside in Sydney. Christmas lighting displays are uncommon in Australian culture, so the staging at the temple provides a unique means of celebrating the holiday for thousands of residents, according to Alan Wakeley, country director of Public Affairs for the Latter-day Saints.

The Spirit of Christmas creates in our hearts a desire to give joy to others and to serve them. At this time of year we feel a spirit of giving and of gratitude for what we have been given. The celebration of Christmas helps us keep our promise to always remember the Savior and His gifts to us and, in turn, to serve others.Each act of kindness to anyone becomes a kindness to the Savior because He loves all of Heavenly Father’s children. And because that brings joy to Him it also brings joy to His Father, to whom we owe thanks beyond measure.
