The Committee of my Social Club performed this silly little skit last Christmas, at the Christmas Dinner. It may suit some of you. We can't be the only crazy old ladies in the world!
VERY DEEP AND MEANINGFUL!
VERY DEEP AND MEANINGFUL!
REINDEER ROUTINE
(Santa enters alone)
Santa
Ho Ho Ho, I'm good old Santa.
Full of jollity and banter!
See my stomach, round and fat?
Well, my sack's as full as that!
(Merry Xmas enters and stands by Santa.)
Merry
And I'm his side-kick, little Merry,
Brighter than a holly berry!
I see Santa's clothed and fed
And I keep him nice and warm in bed!
Both
'But where are the reindeer?' I hear you ask!
They have such an important task.
They need to be agile, smart and frisky.
Not too affected by the whiskey!
Santa
Sing them a song to coax them in.
Let the reindeer fun begin!
Merry
Everyone knows the Rudolph song.
Sing out loud! You can't go wrong!
(The audience sings one chorus of 'Rudolph' while the reindeer are still hidden.)
Compere
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
You must agree that it's a pity
That they resemble your committee!
(Each reindeer enters in turn, performing to order. They end up all in line.)
Dasher I'm Dasher because I'm always dashing.
Dancer I'm Dancer because my dancing's smashing.
Prancer I'm Prancer. I'm so good at prancing!
Vixen I may be a Vixen, but I'm entrancing
Comet I'm Comet! See my tail ablaze!
Cupid I'm little Cupid with loving ways.
Donner Donner means Thunder, I roar and crash!
Blitzen And Blitzen is Lightning! See me flash.
Santa
Come on, Reindeer! Let's get going!
Merry
It's nearly Xmas! It's started snowing!
(The reindeer dig in their heels and wont budge.)
Reindeer in Unison
How will we manage, do you suppose,
Without dear Rudolph and his nose?
Rudolph (off stage)
My nose! My nose! It wont turn red!
It's a sort of pinkish-white instead!
How can I lead the reindeer team
Without my usual scarlet beam?
Santa
Someone. quickly, give him a drink!
That'll change his nose to red from pink!
(Rudolph enters, to be given a quick drink by a member of the audience. Miraculously he can now attach his nose and take his place at the head of the team. The reindeer now circle the room, with Santa and Merry taking up the rear, as the audience sings 'Rudolph' once again).

This is brilliant. I can just visualise it. I bet everyone had a great laugh.
If you do this again you could video it for us and put it on You Tube.
G'Day Brenda ~~ The play sounds wonderful and lots of fun. Thanks for your visit and I am enjoying the gazebo with the new setting in it. Take care, my friend. Love, Merle.
lol, that was fun :)
VERY DEEP AND MEANINGFUL!.... Missing the depth and meaning.
But then cheered up - it's the "Jingle bells" month isn't it. Everyone sounds merry and cheerful with the spirit. Great!
