Sure, I can try to make a script for a short Christian Christmas skit with the title

“The Gift of Giving”. Here is what I came up with:

The Gift of Giving

Characters:

 Anna: A young girl who loves to sing and play the piano.
 Ben: Anna’s brother who likes to play video games and soccer.
 Mom: Anna and Ben’s mother who works as a nurse.
 Dad: Anna and Ben’s father who works as a teacher.
 Pastor: The pastor of the church where Anna and Ben attend.
 Choir: The church choir that sings with Anna.

Scene 1: Anna and Ben’s living room. There is a Christmas tree with some
presents under it. Anna is playing the piano and singing a Christmas song. Ben is
playing video games on the couch.

Anna: (singing) Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Let
every heart prepare Him room…

Ben: (interrupting) Anna, can you please stop singing? I’m trying to play my game
here.

Anna: (stopping) Ben, it’s Christmas Eve. Don’t you want to celebrate the birth of
Jesus?

Ben: Yeah, yeah, I know. But I also want to beat this level. It’s really hard.

Anna: Well, maybe you should take a break and do something else. Like help
Mom with the dinner, or read the Bible, or pray.

Ben: Nah, I’m good. I’ll do that later.

Anna: Ben, you’re missing the point of Christmas. It’s not about playing games or
getting presents. It’s about giving thanks to God for His greatest gift to us.

Ben: What gift?

Anna: Jesus, of course. He came to this world as a baby, lived a perfect life, died
on the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day. He gave us the gift of
salvation and eternal life.

Ben: Yeah, yeah, I know that too. But what does that have to do with me?
Anna: It has everything to do with you, Ben. Because Jesus loves you so much, He
wants you to love Him back. And one way you can show your love is by giving to
others.

Ben: Giving what?

Anna: Giving your time, your talents, your money, your kindness, your
forgiveness, anything that God has blessed you with.

Ben: Why should I do that?

Anna: Because that’s what Jesus did. He gave everything He had for us. And He
said that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Him.

Ben: Hmm…I don’t know, Anna. That sounds hard.

Anna: It’s not hard, Ben. It’s rewarding. And it makes you happy.

Ben: How do you know?

Anna: Because I’ve experienced it myself. Remember last year when I joined the
church choir?

Ben: Yeah, I remember.

Anna: Well, at first I was nervous and shy. I didn’t think I had a good voice or that
anyone would like me. But then Pastor encouraged me and said that God gave me
a gift of music and that I should use it for His glory.

Ben: And then what?

Anna: And then I started to practice and sing with the choir. And I met some
wonderful people who became my friends. And I felt God’s presence and joy in
my heart every time we sang praises to Him.

Ben: That sounds nice.

Anna: It is nice, Ben. And you know what? This year we’re going to sing at the
nursing home where Mom works.

Ben: Really?

Anna: Yes, really. We’re going to share the gift of music and the message of
Christmas with the elderly people there. Some of them are lonely and sad, and they
need some love and hope.
Ben: Wow, that’s very kind of you.

Anna: Thank you, Ben. But it’s not just me. It’s all of us in the choir. And you can
join us too if you want.

Ben: Me? Join the choir? No way!

Anna: Why not? You have a good voice too, Ben. And you like music.

Ben: Yeah, but not that kind of music. I like rock and rap and pop.

Anna: Well, there’s nothing wrong with those kinds of music. But there’s
something special about singing songs that honor God and bless others.

Ben: Maybe for you, but not for me.

Anna: Come on, Ben. Just give it a try. You might like it more than you think.

Ben: I don’t know…

Anna: Please, Ben. For me? For Mom? For Jesus?

Ben: (sighing) Okay, okay. Fine. I’ll give it a try.

Anna: (smiling) Really? You will?

Ben: Yeah, yeah, I will.

Anna: Oh, thank you, Ben! You won’t regret it!

Ben: We’ll see about that.

Anna: Trust me, Ben. You’ll see. This will be the best Christmas ever.

Ben: (shrugging) Whatever.

Anna: Come on, let’s go practice. The choir is meeting at the church in an hour.

Ben: Alright, alright. Let me just finish this game first.

Anna: No, Ben. Now. The game can wait.

Ben: (groaning) Fine, fine. Let’s go.

Anna: (taking his hand) Come on, Ben. Let’s go share the gift of giving.

(They exit the stage)


Scene 2: The nursing home where Mom works. There is a stage with a microphone
and some chairs for the choir. There are some elderly people sitting in wheelchairs
or on couches. Mom is among them, wearing a nurse uniform. Pastor is on the
stage, holding a Bible.

Pastor: Good evening, everyone. Merry Christmas!

Elderly people: Merry Christmas!

Pastor: We are so glad to be here with you tonight. We are the choir from the First
Baptist Church, and we have come to share some songs and some stories with you.

Elderly people: (clapping)

Pastor: But before we begin, let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for this
wonderful night. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to this world as a baby, to
grow up and die for our sins, and to rise again and give us eternal life. Thank You
for Your love and grace that never fail us. Thank You for these precious people
here who have lived long and seen much. Bless them with Your peace and joy this
Christmas season. And bless us as we sing and speak to them. May they hear Your
voice and feel Your presence in our words and music. In Jesus’ name we pray,
amen.

Elderly people: Amen.

Pastor: Alright, let’s begin with our first song. It’s called “O Come All Ye
Faithful”. Please join us if you know the words.

(The choir sings “O Come All Ye Faithful” with Pastor leading them)

Pastor: Thank you, thank you. That was beautiful. Now, we have a special guest
who would like to share something with you. His name is Ben, and he is the
brother of one of our choir members, Anna.

Elderly people: (murmuring)

Pastor: Ben, please come up here.

(Ben walks up to the stage nervously)

Pastor: Don’t be shy, Ben. Tell us what you want to say.

Ben: (clearing his throat) Hi, everyone. My name is Ben, and I’m here to tell you a
story.

Elderly people: (listening)


Ben: It’s a story about me and my sister Anna. And how she taught me the true
meaning of Christmas.

Elderly people: (interested)

Ben: You see, I used to think that Christmas was all about playing games and
getting presents. I didn’t care much about God or Jesus or anything like that. I just
wanted to have fun and do what I wanted.

Elderly people: (nodding)

Ben: But then Anna showed me that there was more to Christmas than that. She
showed me that Christmas was about giving thanks to God for His greatest gift to
us, Jesus Christ.

Elderly people: (smiling)

Ben: She showed me that Jesus came to this world as a baby, lived a perfect life,
died on the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day. She showed me that
He gave us the gift of salvation and eternal life.

Elderly people: (praising)

Ben: She showed me that because Jesus loves us so much, He wants us to love
Him back. And one way we can show our love is by giving to others.

Elderly people: (agreeing)

Ben: She showed me that giving is not hard or boring or lame. It’s rewarding and
fun and awesome.

Elderly people: (laughing)

Ben: She showed me that giving can be anything that God has blessed us with. Our
time, our talents, our money, our kindness, our forgiveness, anything.

Elderly people: (clapping)

Ben: She showed me that giving makes us happy and makes God happy too.

Elderly people: (cheering)

Ben: And that’s why I’m here today. To give you something that God has given
me. A gift of music and a message of hope.

Elderly people: (curious)


Ben: I’m going to sing a song for you that I wrote myself. It’s called “The Gift of
Giving”. And it goes like this:

(Ben sings “The Gift of Giving” with Anna playing the piano and the choir joining
him in the chorus)

Verse 1: I used to think that Christmas was all about me What I wanted, what I
