One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Every day, when she went to the shops, she spent very little money. She bought the cheapest meat, the cheapest vegetables. And when she was tired, she still walked round and round the shops to find the cheapest food. She saved every cent possible.
Delia counted the money again. There was no mistake. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And the next day was Christmas.
She couldn"t do anything about it. She could only sit down and cry. So she sat there, in the poor little room, and she cried.
Delia lived in this poor little room, in New York, with her husband, James Dillingham Young. They also had a bedroom, and a kitchen and a bathroom – all poor little rooms. James Dillingham Young was lucky, because he had a job, but it was not a good job. These rooms took most of his money. Delia tried to find work, but times were bad, and there was no work for her. But when Mr James Dillingham Young came home to his rooms, Mrs James Dillingham Young called him "Jim" and put her arms round him. And that was good.
Delia stopped crying and she washed her face. She stood by the window, and looked out at a grey cat on a grey wall in the grey road. Tomorrow was Christmas Day, and she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy Jim a Christmas present. Her Jim. She wanted very much to buy him something really fine, something to show how much she loved him.
Suddenly, Delia turned round and ran over to look in the glass on the wall. Her eyes were bright.
Now, the James Dillingham Youngs had two very special things. One was Jim"s gold watch. It once belonged to his father, and, before that, to his grandfather. The other special thing was Delia"s hair.
Quickly, Delia let down her beautiful, long hair. It fell down her back, and it was almost like a coat around her. Then she put her hair up again, quickly. For a second or two she stood still, and cried a little.
Then she put on her old brown coat, and her old brown hat, turned, and left the room. She went downstairs and out into the road, and her eyes were bright.
She walked along by the shops, and stopped when she came to a door with "Madame Eloise - Hair" on it. Inside there was a fat woman. She did not look like an "Eloise".
"Will you buy my hair?" Delia asked.
"I buy hair," Madame replied. "Take your hat off, then, and show me your hair."
The beautiful brown hair fell down.
"Twenty dollars," Madame said, and she touched the hair with her hand.
"Quick! Cut it off! Give me the money!" Delia said.
The next two hours went quickly. Delia was happy because she was looking round the shops for Jim"s present. At last she found it. It was a gold chain for The Watch. Jim loved his watch, but it had no chain. When Delia saw this gold chain, she knew immediately that it was right for Jim. She must have it. The shop took twenty-one dollars from her for it, and she hurried home with the eighty-seven cents. When she arrived there, she looked at her very short hair in the glass. "What can I do with it?" she thought. For the next half an hour she was very busy.
Then she looked again in the glass. Her hair was now in very small curls all over her head. "Oh, dear. I look like a schoolgirl!" she said to herself. "What"s Jim going to say when he sees me?"
At seven o"clock the dinner was nearly ready and Delia was waiting. "Oh, I hope he thinks that I"m still beautiful!" she thought.
The door opened and Jim came in and closed it. He looked very thin and he needed a new coat. His eyes were on Delia. She could not understand the look on his face, and she was afraid. He was not angry or surprised. He just watched her, with that strange look on his face. Delia ran to him.
"Jim," she cried. "Don"t look at me like that. I sold my hair because I wanted to give you a present. It will soon be long again. I had to do it, Jim. Say «Happy Christmas», please. I have a wonderful present for you!"
"You"ve cut off your hair?" asked Jim.
"Yes. I cut it off and sold it," Delia said. "But don"t you love me any more, Jim? I"m still me."
Jim looked round the room.
"You say your hair has gone?" he said, almost stupidly.
"Yes. I told you. Because I love you! Shall I get the dinner now, Jim?"
Suddenly Jim put his arms round his Delia. Then he took something from his pocket and put it on the table.
"I love you, Delia," he said. "It doesn"t matter if your hair is short or long. But if you open that, you"ll see why I was unhappy at first."
Excited, Delia pulled off the paper. Then she gave a little scream of happiness. But a second later there were cries of unhappiness. Because there were The Combs - the combs for her beautiful hair. When she first saw these combs in the shop window, she wanted them. They were beautiful combs, expensive combs, and now they were her combs. But she no longer had her hair!
Delia picked them up and held them. Her eyes were full of love.
"But my hair will soon be long again, Jim."
And then Delia remembered. She jumped up and cried, "Oh! Oh!" She ran to get Jim"s beautiful present,
and she held it out to him.
"Isn"t it lovely, Jim? I looked everywhere for it. Now you"ll want to look at your watch a hundred times a day. Give it to me! Give me your watch, Jim! Let"s see it with its new chain."
But Jim did not do this. He sat down, put his hands behind his head, and he smiled.
"Delia," he said. "Let"s keep our presents for a time. They"re so nice. You see, I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now, let"s have dinner."
And this was the story of two young people who were very much in love.
SCENE 1.
(The NEW YEAR and the SNOW MAIDEN are knocking at the door. They have presents and a bell in their hands)
New Year:
I am the little New Year, ho, ho!
Here I come jumping over the snow,
Shaking my bell with a merry din
Snow Maiden:
Presents we bring for each and all
Big folks, little folks, short and tall.
Each one from us a treasure may win,
So open your doors and let me in!
New Year:
Some shall have silver and some shall have gold
Some shall have new clothes and some shall have old.
Snow Maiden:
Some shall have water and some shall have milk
Some shall have satin and some shall have silk!
New Year: But each of you a present may win
Snow Maiden: So open your doors and let us in!
SCENE 2.
(Enter Mrs.CLAUS)
Mrs.Claus: Oh, hello dear New Year! Have you got any present for Santa Claus?
New Year: What? A present for our old Santa? No, here are some presents which he must take to children. And he must hurry! He hasn"t got much time to finish his work!
Mrs.Claus: Poor old Santa... Good-bye, New Year. Merry Christmas!
(Exit New Year. Enter ELF 1 and ELF 2)
Mrs.Claus: Good day, my little elves. Come here! Have you, Elves, ever thought what it is like for our Santa on Christmas morning? He works all Christmas night putting presents in children"s stockings, and when he comes back to a quiet North Pole he is so tired! All people are opening presents and having a wonderful time and poor old Santa is so tired that he can"t celebrate!
1 st Elf:
Think about it. It"s almost shocking!
He won"t even have a Christmas stocking.
Is it too late for us to plan
To celebrate with this kind old man?
Mrs.Claus: What a good idea! No, it isn"t to late! Let"s quickly think of the presents we can make!
2 nd Elf:
Let"s give him new gloves and a hat right away
So the cold won"t get him when he is out in his sleigh.
Mrs.Claus: What about some nice tasty things for the holiday lunch?
2 nd Elf: We"ll make up a tasty brew! Can you cook his favourite stew?
Mrs.Claus: Of course! So, I"m going to the kitchen and you hurry for a surprise for Santa!
SCENE 3.
(Enter TOM SAWYER, DOROTHY and ALICE)
Tom: Where are my Christmas presents? There is nothing in my stocking! How awful! Oh, my dear friends, I"m so angry that I forgot to tell you who I am. I am famous Tom Sawyer!
Dorothy: I am Dorothy. Do you know me? You have read about my adventures in the book "The Wizard of Oz". I flew to a magic country in my house with my dog Toto.
Alice: And my name is Alice. Do you know what tale I come from? "Alice in Wonderland", of course!
Tom: Imagine how unhappy I am with these two silly girls following me here and there and everywhere! Woh!
Dorothy: Tom, stop being naughty, please! It"s Christmas Eve!
Alice: It"s Christmas Eve and where are our presents? There is nothing in my stocking!
Dorothy: And my stocking is empty, too!
Tom: What has happened to Santa Claus?
(Enter MRS.CLAUS and the ELVES)
Mrs.Claus: My dear friends, you know how busy Santa is. No wonder he has forgotten!
Dorothy, Alice: Merry Christmas, Mrs.Claus!
1 st Elf: Merry Christmas, everybody! Do you know that we decided to give Santa Claus some presents. He never gets anything on Christmas, you know.
Tom: I"ve got an idea. Old Santa has so much work to do today. What if we help him to take the presents to those children who live not very far away?
2 nd Elf: That will be nice! Here is a bag with presents, the New Year has left it hear. Oh, how heavy it is!
Mrs.Claus: Now everybody has something to do and I am going to make a stew.
Dorothy: Can we help you. Mrs.Claus?
Alice: We would like to do it!
1 st Elf: And I think we must invite children to our party. They will dress up in pretty clothes and we"ll have fun!
Mrs.Claus: But we must hurry - Christmas is coming.
SCENE 4.
(Enter BLACK FAIRY)
Black Fairy: Oh, I knew it! Santa Claus hasn"t even put a stocking for me. He"s forgotten about me! And they are all talking about him - helping Santa, presents for Santa, a party for Santa... And I"m always alone! O.K. I"ll show them what happens if they forget about Black Fairy! I don"t want them to help that old fat Santa Claus. Oh, what"s that? Christmas presents!? Presents for these naughty, noisy, lazy children? I"ll take them and hide in a good secret place. (to the audience) And if you tell them anything you will never get any presents on Christmas! Do you understand? Never again!
SCENE 5.
(Enter Tom, Dorothy and Alice)
Tom: It"s time to go. The children are waiting for their presents. (looking around) But where are the presents? Where is the bag?
Dorothy: Where are the presents?
Alice (crying): Somebody has taken the bag! Now the children won"t get the presents!
Dorothy (crying): Poor Santa Claus. Everybody will be angry with him. We wanted to help and now...
Tom: Never again shall I ask any girls to help me! The only thing they can do is cry and weep! It"s cold today and if you don"t stop you will have icicles on your eyes! Stop crying and let me think. There must be a way out. Yes! A Christmas Fairy - Saula is the only one who can help us! She always comes on Christmas Eve to those who need help.
SCENE 6.
(Distant music and bells are heard, enter SAULA)
Saula: Merry Christmas!
Tom: Saula! I"ve been thinking about you! How do you know that we need your help?
Saula: I heard someone crying. I thought I could help, and here I am!
Alice: Saula, dear, do you know what has happened?
Saula: I don"t, sweetheart.
Dorothy: We decided to help Santa Claus with the presents, you know he is so busy on Christmas Eve...
Saula: How lovely! How kind of you to do it!
Alice: But somebody has taken the bag with all the presents!
Tom: Even I have no idea - who could do such a bad thing!
Saula: Let me think... I guess I know who it is.
All: Do you!?
Saula: Have you ever heard about the Black Fairy of the Christmas Eve?
Tom: Never.
Alice: Yes, I"ve once read about her. People say she is very wicked, nobody loves her and she loves nobody.
Saula: You are right. She always tries to do something bad on Christmas Eve.
Tom: Let me catch her and she will never do anything bad again!
Saula: Don"t be so angry, Tom. Christmas is the time for love and forgiving. Think of how unhappy she is. She"s got no friends, no family. Nobody gives her presents or says Merry Christmas.
Dorothy: Poor thing.
Alice: I"m so sorry.
Dorothy: And what if we give her a present?
Tom: A present for this ...
Alice: Oh, Tom, we must give her a present and say we are sorry nobody wants to be her friend. May be she isn"t as bad as she looks.
Dorothy: We can be her friends.
Saula: You are good girls! That"s just what we must do. Elves! Elves! Have you got one more stocking?
SCENE 7.
(Enter Elves)
1 st Elf: Merry Christmas Saula!
2 nd Elf: Who do you need a stocking for?
Saula: For Black Fairy.
Elves: Black Fairy?
Tom: These kind women feel sorry for her! And she has stolen the bag with Christmas presents! Have you ever heard anything like that!?
Saula: Tom, be a good boy today. Don"t forget it"s Christmas time.
Tom: O.K. I"ll show you that I can be good. I can even give Black Fairy my tooth as a present. And it"s the best thing I have got!
Dorothy: We"ve got some candies.
2 nd Elf: And I have a nice Christmas bell!
Saula: Here is an apple and a beautiful Christmas card from me. Let us put everything into the stocking and call Black fairy all together.
All: Black Fairy! Black Fairy!
SCENE 8.
(Enter Black Fairy)
Black Fairy: I haven"t seen your bag with presents! I"ve never touched it.
Saula: Dear, nobody thinks you have!
Alice: We just wanted to say to you -
All: Merry Christmas!
Dorothy: Christmas is the time for love, friendship and forgiving.
Tom: Here is a present for you, Black Fairy!
Black Fairy: A Christmas stocking? For me? Isn"t it a joke?
1 st Elf: No, Black Fairy, it isn"t a joke. We want to be your friends.
Black Fairy: Oh, thank you so much! And I am sorry. It was me. I took the presents. I didn"t want you to help Santa Claus because he never, never brings me presents. I am so sorry. Here is the bag. Forgive me, please!
Saula: We will forgive you if you help us to take the presents to the children. We must hurry or we"ll be late!
Black Fairy: Certainly, with great pleasure!
Saula: I"m leaving you now. You can do everything yourselves and I must help those who are unhappy today. Good-bye and merry Christmas! (exit Saula)
SCENE 9.
(Mrs.Claus and the Elves)
Mrs.Claus: Everything is ready. We helped Santa with the presents and his stocking is full of presents, too. And the tasty lunch is on the table. But there are no lights on the Christmas tree!
1 st Elf:
We"ll have to hurry to get things done
The computer shows he"s on his last run!
2 nd Elf: Yes, he is coming!
Mrs.Claus: Tom, Alice, Dorothy, come here! (Enter Tom, Alice, Dorothy). I can hear him. He"s going into his bedroom. Let"s turn off the lights and hide. (the stage remains dark and quiet) I"d better go and see what has happened to him. I don"t hear anything! (the lights go up, Mrs.Claus exits and immediately comes back)
Well, little friends, you needn"t hide
Santa"s too tired after his ride
The party food we"ll have to keep
Dear old Santa is fast asleep!
Tom: What if we wake him up?
Alice: Won"t he be angry? He is so tired.
Dorothy: I know a lovely Christmas song about Santa Claus. If we sing it he"ll wake up and won"t be angry.
I"m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
When the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I"m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

«Время чудес»
Christmas night (Рождественская ночь). Две сестры (7 класс) украшают ёлку и говорят о своих подарках:
1. Tomorrow is Christmas. This night is magic because Santa comes to children and gives them presents.
2 . Oh, what should I wish? What present do I want? (задумывается, оглядывает сцену и зрителей) .
I want a toy and I want a doll
I want a car and a big ball.
Oooh, I don’t know!
And I want a puppy. A little puppy with big funny ears (смеётся и мечтательно смотрит на потолок).
A puppy? Ha, I am sure our parents will be against of it! But.. Who knows… It`s a magic night and all wishes come true.
Oh, and don’t forget, we must prepare a present for Santa!
Yes, tasty cookies and milk. (берет в руки печенье и молоко). You know, Santa ia always hungry (берет одну печеньку и хочет съесть).
Eh, eh… It`s for Santa!
(кладет печенье обратно на тарелку ) Oops, sorry, I know.
Put the cookies on the table! (смотрин на часы ) It`s late. Time to go to bed.
Девочки уходят. Выходят снежинки (4 класс) с танцем. Конец танца – входит Санта(7 класс), улыбается, гладит девочек по голове и подходит к чулкам на камине. Вдруг он видит печенье и молоко. Улыбается.
Santa : Ho, ho! Cookies! Two nice girls left them for me. MMM, so tasty! (пробует печенье). Their present is good. I liked it! So now my turn! Jenny wants a puppy (взмахивает волшебной палочкой и достает щенка, кладет его в чулок для подарков).
And Manny… Oh , she said: «I want a toy and I want a doll
I want a car and a big ball».
Well, OK! (Санта достает подарки, еще раз называет их по-английски и кладет на камин и в чулок. Санта садится в кресло ).
Santa: I`ll have a rest and go to other houses to give presents to other children.
Танец.
Наступило утро. Девочки только что встали. Они выходят на сцену. Подтягиваются и зевают. Смотрят на камин и радостно кричат, перебивая друг друга.
Jenny! Look!
Manny! Do you see?
Yes, I do. There is something in the stockings!
Presents… our presents!! Santa brought them !
This is my stocking! Oh what is there? A puppy!)))
And… Oh a ball, a car, a doll and a toy! Everything I wanted! Santa didn’t forget anything.
Девочки прыгают, радуются и смеются.
This is the best Christmas! I like it so much.
And I am so happy, too. (Смотрит в зал и радостно кричит зрителям) Merry Christmas!!! I wish you Merry Christmas!
Выходят дети и поют песню « Merry Christmas»

Зимняя сказка нужна не только детям, но и взрослым. Мы собрали для вас волшебные рождественские мультфильмы, которые стоит посмотреть на английском языке. Это интересный вариант выучить новые слова, а ребенок тем более придет в восторг от такого способа обучения. Запаситесь вкусняшками, теплым напитком, и вперед — в мир рождественских чудес 🙂
Друзья, в этой статье собраны сайты с фильмами и мультиками на английском языке с субтитрами. Мультики из представленной статьи, вы можете искать на этих сайтах, если вам сложно смотреть их без субтитров.
Практически все рождественские мультики из этой подборки отличаются несложной лексикой и грамматикой, а также четким произношением. Поэтому их можно начинать смотреть уже с уровня Pre-Intermediate.
Saving Santa / Спасти Санту
Задумывались ли вы когда-то, как Санте удается облететь весь мир всего за одну ночь? Весь секрет в том, что в рождественскую ночь этот белобородый старик, благодаря волшебным саням, перемещается не только в пространстве, но и во времени. Милый, смышленый и забавный эльф по имени Бернард прослыл несерьезным и слегка безответственным. Но ему выпадает шанс доказать обратное. Ведь он узнает, что кто-то планирует похитить Санту. Бернард решает, что у него получится спасти его, а вместе с ним и Рождество. Неуклюжему эльфу доведется вернуться в прошлое, чтобы противостоять коварным злодеям. Но удастся ли ему это?
Father Christmas / Дед Мороз
Этот очаровательный мультфильм длительностью всего в 25 минут снят по книге Рэймонда Бриггса. Рассчитан на взрослых.
Все мы привыкли к классическому образу Деда Мороза: добрый старик в красном одеянии, который обожает детей, дарит подарки и веру в лучшее. Но каков он в обыденной жизни? В Father Christmas показаны будни Рождественского Отца (британский Санта). И в эти дни он далек от того, каким мы привыкли видеть его на Рождество. Это ворчливый старик, который покуривает люльку, то и дело использует совсем не волшебное слово blooming (чертов) и попадает в каверзные ситуации.
Внимание! В видео в этой статье дана оригинальная (британская версия). Существует еще и версия с американской озвучкой, в которой были вырезаны некоторые сцены (например, попойки Деда Мороза), а слово blooming заменено на merry.
Christmas Carol / Рождественская история
Сложно представить себе Рождество и Новый год без адаптации «Рождественской песни в прозе» Диккенса, в которой рассказывается о ворчливом скряге, у которого в жизни единственная ценность — деньги. Но все меняется, когда его посещают три духа: прошлого, настоящего и будущего.
Первый мультфильм (2001 года) — классическая сказка, которая отлично подойдет для просмотра детям.
Второй — современная адаптация с Джимом Керри в главной роли. Мультфильм немного мрачный, поэтому подойдет для детей постарше и взрослых. В этой версии стоит учитывать, что речь героев не слишком четкая, и есть сложная лексика. Как минимум, нужно иметь средний уровень для просмотра сказки в оригинале, а лучше отыскать версию с субтитрами.

A Wish for Wings That Work / Мечта летать
Короткий мультик (23 минуты) о пингвине Опусе, который с самого детства мечтает научиться летать. Каждый день он бежал за птицами, махая крыльями и надеясь, что ему удастся взлететь вслед за ними. Но, увы, его крылья «не работали». Около пингвина всегда вертелся рыжий кот, который мечтал подружиться с ним. Все считали кота и Опуса парочкой неудачников. Но пингвиненок не отчаивался, он продолжал верить, что однажды у него вырастут крылья, которые «заработают».
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! / Как Гринч украл Рождество
Все любят Рождество, но только не Гринч. Во время зимних праздников все радуются и осыпают друг друга подарками. Никто и понятия не имеет об затаившейся обиде Гринча. Однажды этот зеленый монстр решает — хватит! Самое время похитить ненавистный праздник. Он переодевается в Санту, а своего пса заставляет сыграть роль оленя, намереваясь похитить всю рождественскую атрибутику у жителей городка.
The Grinch / Гринч
Невозможно не упомянуть и о новом мультике про Гринча. Сюжет классической истории про зеленого интроверта, живущего со своей собакой подальше от людей сохраняется. Вот только теперь сказка сдобрена большим количеством юмористических сцен и отличается качественным графическим оформлением. Добрая, немного наивная, рождественская история для семейного просмотра.
Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town / В город приехал Санта-Клаус!
Вам когда-то было интересно узнать, откуда взялся Санта Клаус? Что же, садитесь поудобней и слушайте историю, которую расскажет почтальон.
Жил-был мальчик по имени Крис. Его семья занималась производством игрушек. Когда мальчик немного вырос, ему захотелось порадовать соседских детей, подарив им игрушки. Но неподалеку проживал злодей Бургомитр. Он решил помешать Крису осуществить задуманное. Однако мальчишка не хочет сдаваться. Он осведомлен, что недалеко от него живет злой волшебник. Конечно, будучи злым, волшебник был бы больше рад помочь Бургомитру, но Крис решает завоевать расположение мага.
The Night Before Christmas: A Mouse Tale / Ночь перед Рождеством: мышиные истории
Несмотря на то, что мультик достаточно детский, английская речь в нем не такая уж и простая. Поэтому стоит смотреть его с субтитрами, а при просмотре с ребенком, разбирать сложные моменты вместе.
Семья Аттвелов вовсю готовится к зимним праздникам. Проживающие рядом мышата удивляются наряженной елке, красиво завернутым коробкам, красиво накрытому столу. Маленьким мышкам становится интересно: что же такое Рождество. Они отправляются в путешествие, чтобы разузнать все об этом дивном празднике. Их ожидает множество приключений, как хороших, так и не очень. Удастся ли мышатам узнать ответ на свой вопрос?
Заключительный концерт в виде рождественской истории «To Meet Santa» прошел 25 декабря в 16:00 и стал завершением декады английского языка. Идея собрать вместе Санта Клауса, Деда Мороза, Итальянскую ведьму Бефану, гавайцев и эскимосов с тем, чтобы показать, как люди в разных странах празднуют Рождество и Новый Год, была поддержана. Сценарий был полностью на английском языке, за исключением Российского Деда Мороза. Сценарий отличался от всех традиционных новогодних сказок новизной и современным взглядом и интерпретацией. Учащиеся с удовольствием репетировали и получали удовольствие от процесса подготовки.
Сценарий:
A girl (Rayana) is sitting at the table at writing a letter to Santa:” Dear Santa, all year I was a very good girl! I was a diligent student at school. I always did my homework. I always obeyed my Mom and Dad. I helped with the housework! I would like to ask you to bring joy and happiness to my family and all my relatives. I would like all people in the world to be able to ask about help and to get this help. It is very important to manage to ask about what you need. I wish all people’s dreams come true. I wish peace stay on the Earth and we all appreciate what we have. But my biggest desire is to meet you personally! I am sure we will be very good friends!
…
(Her brother Stas enteres the room)
What are you doing? (Stas)
I am writing a letter to Santa. (Rayana)
Writing a letter? In the 21st century? All people have computers and the access to the Internet. Why not to write an e-mail to him? (Stas)
E-mail? What’s this? (Rayana)
An electronic letter. You type it and sent from your computer. The letter immediately enters the Santa’s mailbox…By the way, have you known before that Santa has his own website? (Stas)
- Website? What website? (Rayana)
Oh, my God! Check this out, Rayana, you type www.santaclaus.net and …Stop! What Santa are you writing to? (Stas)
What do you mean “What Santa”? (Rayana)
Rayana, do you think there is the only Santa in the world? (Stas)
Why not? (Rayana)
You still don’t know so many things, Rayana! OK, I will tell you what I know myself as your older brother. People in different countries celebrate Christmas and New Year in different ways. And by the way they have their own Santas. (Stas)
I can’t belive it! Who are you kidding? No, no, no, it’s totally unacceptable! Santa is unique and special! (Rayana)
Yes, he is but… Stop, I know how to prove it. Look! With help of virtual space we’ll travel around the world and see how people celebrate Christmas. (Stas)
Christmas in the Great Britain.
Santa (Ahmed) is sitting at the desk among the piles of letters from children all over the world. (As a background Jingle Bells sounds)
Everyday is the same! I feel like a robot! I get up at 5 o’clock, have cookies and milk for breakfast, go to my Christmas workshop and check what my elfs make for kids all over the world. Then I have cookies and milk for lunch, sleep a little bit and again at 5 o’clock pm have cookies and milk… I am fed up with milk and cookies! I wanna meat, coffee without milk, bananas and lemonade at least.
What I have to listen every day? Me? Who was the most talented Santa in the class? Who played in rock band? Jingle Bells? (He sits at the piano and plays Warriors Imagine Dragons) See! That’s what I like. We live in the 21st century! By the way, my transport, how I move, by reindeers, ridiculous! (Ahmed)
Santa, Santa, your main elf is late because he got stuck in a terrible traffic jam! (Elf)
Traffic Jam? How is that possible? Are sky roads gridlocked? (Ahmed)
But, Santa, you have recently turned all your reindeers into Mersedeses. (Elf)
Oh, I forgot! You never know what is better! I need to visit my sister Befana, I haven’t seen her for ages! She lives in Italy and I will eat pizza, cheese and spaghetti! (Ahmed)
Who are you and why you entered my house? Oh, no, stop, it was from another play who are you, my little child, and what do you need from me? (Ahmed)
Santa, it was my dream to see how people celebrate Christmas all over the world. Please, take me with you! (Rayana)
OK! No problem! We still have no my helper but I have a driving license! (Ahmed)
No, Santa, let’s go by reindeers! (Rayana)
Oh, I am too kind sometimes! Ok, lets! (Ahmed)
Christmas in Italy with the witch Befana
Befana (Alua) wearing bandana and shorts with a big broom walking along her room back and forth and screaming: “Mama mia, tradizione idiota! I should fly on a broom whereas il mio fratello Santa Claus flies on a sleigh with funny reindeers! I should eat pizza and spaghetti whereas il mio fratello Santa Claus eats cookies and milk? I hate it! (Then she sees Santa and guests)
Amore mio, il mio caro fratello! Ciao, ciao, come stai? (Alua)
Molto bene, grazie, mia sorella! (Ahmed)
Stop! Let’s fence first! (Alua)
Fence! Are you kidding, Befana? (Ahmed)
Come on, Klaus, I will prick you!
They are fencing, at last Befana wins.
You are losing your shape, carissimo! (Alua)
That’s what I am talking every day, Bef! I am eating only cookies and milk! (Ahmed)
Then Befana sees Alex and Stas:
Who are they, russo turisto? (Alua)
Turisto, but not russo! (Ahmed)
Oh, dear lady Befana, I am so happy to meet you! I have never known about you! (Rayana)
You haven’t known about me? Questo e impossibile! Questo e koshmar! (Alua)
Calm down, sorella! Let’s sing our favorite song! (Ahmed)
They sing a song together Flyleaf.
Listen, I have never known that witches can be so cool! She is gorgeous! I like her so much! (Rayana)
Yea! Pretty cool old eternal lady! But we have to visit two more countries and now we will visit Hawaii. (Stas)
Hawaii? Stas, you are pulling your leg! People in Hawaii cannot have Christmas because they have no snow! (Rayana)
Alex, you will be really surprised to see how they have a blast during this holiday. Come on, let’s go, you will see everything yourself! (Stas)
Christmas in Hawaii!
I am tired, Stas! We have just visited three different countries! What else? (Rayana)
What else? Let me think, Oh, I know, Russia! (Stas)
Oh no! (Rayana)
Why? What’s wrong with Russia! (Stas)
It’s very cold there! (Rayana)
Rayana, cold is better that rain at Christmas Eve! Come on! (Stas)
Christmas in Russia with Father Frost!
Дед Мороз (Дима Маклецев) ходит по сцене и воспитывает снежинок. Дима должен сыграть как режиссер, типа: «Не верю, сколько раз повторять вам, не убедили вы меня, что это за танцы, вы к детям собрались или на дискотеку? Ну-ка еще раз по местам, занять свои позиции» Снежинки с Некитом танцуют свой танец.
Райана и Стас хлопают и кричат «Браво!», Дед Мороз поворачивается к ним и говорит: «А это еще что за диво дивное, зачем пожаловали?»
We would like to see how you live and people in your country! (Райана и Стас)
Иностранцы что-ли? Отправлю-ка я их в Африку, вот смеху то будет! (Дима Маклецев)
Но и сам попадает в Африку!
Там сталкивается лицом к лицу с папуасом дед морозом. Оба орут: «АААА»
Потом танцуют и поют Эскимос и папуас)
Затем Дед Мороз просит прощения у ребят и летит с ними назад, номер Российский дед мороз!
Well, Rayana, now you know that in different countries there are different magicians and traditions. Have you chosen who you is gonna write your letter? (Stas)
I have changed my mind, Stas! I wanna see all of them one more time! (Rayana)
I can do it in one go! (Stas)
You? You know what? You are the greatest show-off I have ever met in my life! (Rayana)
Me? Show-off? Rayana, don’t forget, we live in the 21st century and I will only press the button ‘ENTER’ and Abracadabra… (Stas)
All four magicians come out and greet Rayana! Then one of them asks Rayana!
Have you already made your New Year’s Resolutions? (Ahmed)
Have I made what? (Rayana)
Stop, stop, may I tell the world about this great New Year’s tradition!
Before the clock strikes 12 times people all over the world make their New Year’s resolutions and decide to do something new at the beginning of the New Year! Let’s all make our New Year’s resolutions. I am sure New Year will bring all of us happiness and new productive and efficient life! (Stas)
People take a small piece of paper and write down their New Year’s Resolution then roll it into the small rolls! Then we all burn candles.
Candles and small glasses and the song “Last Christmas” of Wham.
