There is a group of Super Heroes . They make a semi circle, and are busily talking loud and fast.

Superman; ORDER! ORDER! I call this meeting of Superheroes to order!

The group is quite with groans.

Superman: As some of you have heard, there is a rumor going around that a new superhero is
coming to earth. They say that he is coming to save the world, and that he receives his powers from
the big G O D.

Hulk: I have heard the same thing! What does this mean!? WE save the Earth. WE have been here
for years! What does this guy think he is doing?

Wonder Woman: Do we even know who this guy or WOMAN is? Doesnt he know that that is our
job?

Batman: I have heard that this G-O-D guy means real business. Apparently he has a connection
with all of us. He says the he loves the world so much that he is going to give us his SON. This new
superhero, is here to save the world from the villain SIN.

Spiderman: Who is this SIN? I dont know this evil villain? Cat Woman, is he one of your old
enemy ?

Cat Woman: No. I dont know him, but I know that I could beat him, and probably better than this
new guy.

Superman: OK OK, lets calm down everyone. We dont know if this guy is going to take our jobs.
Maybe he is to help us and the world.

Hulk: Well I dont need any help! Didnt you see me crush that bad guy last week? I saved a bus full
of school children with one hand!

Batman raises a hand for a high-five.

Batman: I did see that man! You were awesome, but I think that next time you could

Cat Woman: Woah. Slow down guys. Lets focus on this new guy. We can share our glory stories
later!

Spiderman: Do we know when this new guy is supposed to come?

Wonder Woman: Ive heard that he is coming on Christmas Day. Thats tomorrow!?

Hulk: NO WAY. Christmas cant be tomorrow!? Is it really Christmas Eve?

WW: Yes, Hulk, tomorrow I think the muscles are cutting off circulation to your brain.

Batman: This means we have to act fast! We have to find this guy, learn what his weaknesses are,
and find out his enemies AGGGH What if he has a SIDEKICK? We have so much to do

Superman: Well then we better start looking for this big guy.

Superheroes Exit

Mary and Joseph walk

Mary: I am so tired; cant we just book a room somewhere? I am so tired of this walking.

Joseph: [irritated] Only a little bit more love. Im sorry that every Hotel was full, but I didnt know
we were going to be traveling during this busy time of holiday season!

Mary: Dont get angry at me! I didnt want to abandon my home, or become the mother of Gods son!

Joseph: Yes, dear. I know. How did that happen again? You were so scared when you came to me.

Mary: Well an angel came from God to me in Nazareth. He told me to get excited because God
chose me to have his son. I have to call him, Jesus. I was so scared, but then the angel said do not
be scared, this means that God will always be with me. Im still nervous and unsure about this whole
thing. What if Im not right? What if Im not going to be a good mother to GODS son?

Joseph: Mary, Mary, Mary! Stop youre worrying, and breathe. God chose you for a reason, and he
chose me as your husband for a reason.

Superheroes enter running. Looking under things, behind things, under cloaks etc.

Superman: Well, we havent found him yet. This superhero really know how to hide.

Hulk: (Lifts a large object (ie house)) I have turned over everything, and he isnt hiding under
anything.

WW: HULK. PUT THAT DOWN. Do you really think the man who saves the world would be hiding
under a ______?

Catwoman: Im tired of looking. Maybe he has weakness, like Tuna, or catnip, or those little squeaky
mice, or those little balls of light that you NEVER can catch!

Batman: Woah, down kitty. Um, we dont know that yet. Maybe these good people have heard
something about him. Ill go ask.

Batman starts walking, then Superman puts out his arm and walks in front.

Superman: (clears his throat) Ahem, excuse me you good citizens but do you know of a new
superhero?

Mary: A new superhero? No? Joseph have you?

Joseph: (shocked) No way. Are you really SUPERMAN. (squeal) Oh my goodness, and Wonder
Woman, and the Hulk, and and and and

Mary: Oh get a hold of yourself! No, we havent. Do you know of place where we could stay?
Apparently all the hotels are full.

Spiderman: I know a man down the road who has a nice stable. You could ask if he knows of a place.

Joseph: (still in shock) Wow, you guys are all my heroes. You save the world, like EVERYDAY. And
youre here. Right now. (Squeal)

Hulk: (shrugs his shoulders) Yes, we know. We are pretty powerful.

All superheroes begin striking fierce poses

WW: Oh my! Miss, are you pregnant?

Mary: Yes, Im expecting almost any day. It may even be tonight.

Catwoman: Oh there is nothing better than a baby.

Superman: Oh I hope we will see you again, I would love to hold your baby.

Hulk: Me too, I love to put babies to sleep.

Spiderman: And youre sure you dont crush them? ( Laughs to himself)

Mary has a look of terror on her face

Mary: Yes, yes that would be nice. Im sure I will need all the help I can get.

Joseph: You, you, you, would come see us AGAIN? Oh wow.

Faints. Supported by a superhero.

WW: (Ignoring Joseph) Do you know if its a boy or a girl? What are you going to name him?

Mary: Its a boy, and his name shall be Jesus.

The superheroes breath relaxed.

Mary: Well my feet are getting sore; I think we will give that man with the stable a try. Good luck
with your search for this superhero?

Joseph: Uh, uh-huh!

Superheroes: Congratulations on the baby! I am so excited for you. Good luck with the baby.
Superheroes exit with Mary/Joseph.

2 Shepherds relaxing

Shepherd 1: This job is sooooo BORING.

Shepherd 2: Hey, I wouldnt complain. Its paying for your mobile phone bill. Can you imagine living
without WHATSAPP?
Shepherd 1: Ha ha ha you think you are so funny! No seriously. This job is so boring. Nothing
exciting ever happens! I mean all my friends work at Telepizza and get free pizzas, and what do I
get? I get to watch oer my flocks by night and shovel sheep poop! Gross.

Shepherd 2: Oh come on, it isnt that bad. Its a clear night on Christmas Eve. You can just stare
out into the black sky full of stars and really appreciate the wonder that God created.

Shepherd 1: Ugh, youre one of those, those God people.

Shepherd 2: Well yeah. I guess I am. I mean. I dont know! I have heard that God is sending his son
to save us from our sin.

VOICE: Mmmhmmm. You got that right!

Shepherds cling to each other in fear and scream.

Shepherd 1: Who is that!? I am trained in karate and Im not afraid to use it!

Shepherd 2: Better question where are you?!

Shepherds block the light.

VOICE: Im right here. Do not be afraid! I am an angel from God. I bring you good news!

VOICE: (Laughs) . I have to tell you that JESUS, the son of God was born tonight! Be Happy!
Immanuel, the savior of the universe was born tonight, here in Bethlehem!

Shepherd 2: Oh my goodness! Are you serious?! How exciting! Where is he? Can I go see him?

VOICE: Yes! Please do! Follow his star by night, and you will find the baby wrapped in old rags.

Shepherd 1: Um. I dont know what old rags means, but I think when I see the baby Ill know Im in
the right place. But what does this mean? Why is this baby so IMPORTANT?

VOICE: God sent his son, Jesus, so that we could be forgiven of our sins. When we do bad things, or
make bad choices we are sinning against God. When we sin, we are moving away from God. But God
loves us so much that he sent send his son to us so that even when we do sin, we are forgiven. Isnt
that great?

Shepherd 1: Wow. Gods love is amazing.

Shepherd 1: I dont understand how a baby is going to help us all? How is he going to stop me from
doing sins?

Voice: Jesus is coming to help us build a relationship with God. He will be a way for us to see God,
and know that he loves us. But seriously, get a move on over to the stable. Thats the star right
over there!
Light goes out

Superheroes enter looking Tired.

Superman: Excuse me good shepherds? Have you heard anything about a new superhero that is
coming to save the earth?

Batman: We have been looking for him all day. Were tired.

Catwoman: Were scared he is going to take our jobs.

Shepherd 2: I dont know anything about a new super hero, but did you hear that Gods son was born
tonight!?

Hulk: Wait, did you say Gods son? Thats our guy!

WW: Woah, woah, woah Hulk. We have not been searching for a baby! How could a baby save the
world?

Shepherd 1: I dont really understand it either, but lets go see! I just want to see this Super-BabyGod thing.

Exit

Mary: Oh. Isnt he wonderful?

Joseph: I never knew a baby was this wonderful. God has given us such a blessing.

Superheroes storm in

Superman: Alright you superhero, put your hands up! Nobody is taking my job!

Spiderman: Yeah. What he said!

WW: Oh my goodness. Boys. SHUT-UP, cant you see there is a baby sleeping!
Superman: Well. Yeah. But he is going to take our jobs, and and and oh but he is so cute!

Mary: Yes, he is. I didnt expect to see you guys again so soon. But what is this about my son taking
your jobs?

Catwoman: Well, we heard that Jesus is this new superhero coming to town. And they that he is
going to save the whole world from SIN.

Hulk: So we thought that no one would need us anymore. But this is a baby! So we dont have
anything to worry about guys! (coos at the baby)

Batman: Youre right! Phew. I was getting worried. So, were they wrong? Is Jesus just a baby?

Mary: Well, right now he is. But God has great plans in store for him. He will grow up and save us
from our own sin.

Shepherd 1: We heard all about that! An angel came to us and told us to not be afraid because
Jesus was born. And that he will bring us grace!

Superman: Hold on, hold on! So Jesus isnt going to take over my job? I can still go out and save
people?

Joseph: (holding the baby) Of course, you can still go save people. But, God sent his son so that we
can be saved from sins we do. Jesus is reminding us of Gods love, and how we can share it with
others. So now, when you save people you can tell them about Jesus power and about Gods love for
us.
Spiderman: Wow! Ok! I think I could do that! Stop right there mister! I will save you innocent
citizens! But Jesus will save you with Gods love! I like it!

Mary: I am so glad you all came to see Jesus and that now you will spread Gods love. I am not
afraid anymore. This is a merry Christmas.
ALL: Merry Christmas!
