I would like permission to use this script for our Christmas Pageant for the next Christmas at Trinity Episcopal in CT. I have downloaded the transcript, but am looking for approval from the powers that be (no pun intended). Let me know. Thanks!

Hi @Chris Hoehne. We don't think that our kids' telling of the story is suitable for use as a script for a pageant. If you like the idea, we suggest you interview your own kids and use what they say.

Not trying to hate, but there's a obvious movie mistake here. As I recall, it wasn't until sometime into the 1st century that green, purple, orange, pink and red glow sticks became available for purchase by the public. For the sake of correctness only yellow and blue sticks should have been used. Great video otherwise!

This is so heart-touching. It made me laugh and cry and feel true joy! I love so many bits: Joseph's laughter when he saw Mary, Mary falling off the donkey, pushing the donkey (brilliant), following the star - would that it was that simple, the close up of the animal poop, the angry voices, and best of all: at the end, there was a party! Of COURSE there was a party! How could I forget? Thank you.

This is VERY weird.I think the TRUE meaning of Christmas is presents and candy...

Ya, 1st century = years 0 - 99. Sometime into the 1st century = idk, years 45 - 99?
