Nativity Alive! Kids caroling at Mr. “Grouch’s” house notice his lighted nativity and vandalize it, stealing the baby Jesus. When Mr. Crouch arrives, they run off, leaving behind one little girl (Emily) who is determined to make things right. She learns Mr. Crouch is not really a recluse when he brings his nativity to life. As Mary, Joseph, and the shepherd boy tell their stories, Emily falls in love with the true Christmas story and finally confesses that Baby Jesus has been stolen, but that she is going to make sure her friends know who Jesus really is.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Like any child, Jesus wants to know about the day He was born. Happy Birthday Jesus occurs on Jesus’ twelfth birthday when he asks about when he was born. His parents retell the story, sharing their different viewpoints as it is re-enacted on stage by the child actors. The ending foreshadows that Jesus didn’t come for a birthday, but also for Good Friday and Easter, the true reason to celebrate His birth.

Come to the Manger
One family rushes to their annual church Christmas pageant. The director/mother is frenzied, her oldest son Matthew is reluctant, his sassy sister is literally the “star” of the pageant, and the youngest is only interested in Santa. After wondering what the first Christmas was like, they are whisked back to Bethlehem. Matthew encounters the innkeeper’s daughter and warns her to make room for something special, encourages the three magi to press on with their gifts, and keeps the sleepy shepherd awake for the big moment. But when all the characters arrive at the manger and Matthew realizes he has nothing to give, his mother explains that perhaps his gift was the greatest of all: he brought others to the manger to worship the King.
