Characters : Santa Claus, Reindeer (up to 9)

Setting : Outside Santa’s workshop at the North Pole
Needed : Santa costume, antlers, red nose, Reindeer Beer bottles (or ginger ale)

(Scene: Rudolph is sitting alone in the snow, drinking from a bottle)

Rudolph: (talking to nobody in particular) Happy (hiccup) Christmas (hiccup),

everybody (hiccup)! Cheers! (hiccup)

Dancer: (Walks by with some other reindeer and sees

Rudolph sitting in the snow) Rudolph! What are you doing?
Are you okay?

Rudolph: (hiccup, slurring) Hi, Danzer! (hiccup) Hi boyz!

(hiccup) Whassup? (hiccup)

Dasher: Oh my goodness! Rudolph, have you been drinking?

You don’t look too good.

Prancer: Rudolph, what are you doing? Put that bottle away
before Santa sees you.

Vixen : Yes Rudolph, you’d better hide that bottle before Santa comes along.
You’ll be in real trouble then.

Rudolph: (hiccup) Trubble, (hiccup) what trubble? (hiccup)

Cupid : You know Santa doesn’t want us to

drink, especially not when we have to pull the
sleigh. You never know what might happen.

Blitzen: How many drinks have you had today?

Ten, twenty?

Rudolph: (hiccup) Drinks? (hiccup) I don’t

remember. (hiccup) Not enough, that’s for sure! (hiccup))

Donner: Come on, Rudolph, give me that bottle. You’ve clearly had enough. (Donner
tries to take Rudolph’s bottle from him)

Rudolph: (hiccup) No I haven’t. Don’t touch that bottle. It’s mine. (hiccup) (Rudolph
doesn’t want to let go of the bottle; a tug-of-war begins)
Comet: Uh-oh. Too late, guys. Look who’s coming there.

Santa : (Just coming round the corner whistling; stops

when he sees Rudolph) What’s going on here?

Dancer: I don’t know, Santa.

Dasher: Rudolph’s feeling a bit sick, Santa.

Prancer: Maybe he has the flu.

Vixen : Or he ate something that disagreed with him.

Santa : Is that right, Rudolph?

Rudolph: (hiccup) I dunno, Santa. (hiccup) I’m just not feeling too (hiccup) chipper.

Santa : Wait a minute. What’s that smell? Have you been drinking, Rudolph?

Rudolph: Erm, (hiccup), I had just one drink, Santa. That’s all. (hiccup)

Santa : What? You had a drink? Without me? That’s absolutely unforgivable, Rudolph.
Don’t you know you shouldn’t drink on your own?

Rudolph: (hiccup) Well, nobody was around when I was feeling thirsty. (hiccup)

Santa : You should have given me and the boys a call, Rudi. After all, we can deliver
the rest of the presents tomorrow morning or simply FedEx them.

Rudolph: (hiccup) Sorry, Santa. (hiccup)

Cupid : Well why don’t we all have a drink and then go to bed early?

Blitzen: Sounds like a good idea. Is there any Reindeer Beer left?

Donner: I’ll go have a look. (leaves and return with bottles) I found these.

Comet: (looking at a bottle) Zero-Alcohol Reindeer Beer. Is that okay for everyone?

Santa : Great. Pass them around. We should do this more often.

All together: (clinking bottles) Cheers! Merry Christmas everybody!
