A Christmas Story
Editor's Note: Originally published in 1965, this heartwarming Christmas story has become an annual tradition, enthralling readers with its charming tale of a preschool nativity pageant.
In a cozy corner of the First Presbyterian Church in 1965 a charming version of the Christmas story unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on the memories of those lucky enough to witness the spectacle.
The cherub and chapel choir, made up of 4- and 5-year-old children, embarked on a journey through the Nativity, promising a seamless performance after a successful dress rehearsal. Little did they know that the actual show would be a symphony of charming chaos.
Trouble began before curtain rose when a two-year-old member of the Cherub Choir set his sights on a doll depicting the baby Jesus. With determined enthusiasm he made a beeline for the manger, who composed a little play that set the tone for the evening.
The defender, taking his role to heart, talked about the hay-strewn stables, adding to the unexpected excitement. When Mary and Joseph entered, he proudly led them to their seats by the manger.
Point to the shepherds and the angels, whose arrival marked the beginning of the joy. The young cherub, in the spirit of adoration of the Christ child, could not resist another attempt to claim the doll. What followed was a hilarious tug-of-war over the menagerie, involving Maryam, Yusuf and even the watchman.
Amidst the chaos, the distraught father intervenes, restoring order for a while. However, the unexpected weed, which was absent during the dress rehearsal, proved to be the catalyst for the eventual downfall of modesty.
The grass spread generously on the floor turned into a flexible and slippery obstacle course. A shepherd, with his head bowed in reverence, became the unwitting victim, stumbling not once but three times. The resulting domino effect saw the entire cast, from the shepherds to the angels, fall into a heap of laugh-out-loud disaster.
Nevertheless, the gentle pull of the grass turned trouble into fun. Shepherds and herdsmen were suddenly engaged in swan dives, wise men grappled with senseless angels, and cherubim constantly tried to free a deceiver from the shepherd.
Undeterred by this engrossing melee, the narrator and singers proceed like true professionals and bring the story to a heartwarming conclusion. As the cast exited the stage, leaving the stable in charming chaos, peace was restored, and laughter echoed through the hallowed hall.
"I'm glad I read the book, 'cause they sure changed the plot! This timeless story, originally shared in 1965," laughed one happy onlooker as he exited the church. Capturing the spirit of Christmas, it reminds us all that sometimes, the most memorable moments are unexpected.
