In this funny and fast-paced Christmas skit, the church youth group takes on the role of detectives when the manger goes missing right before the big Christmas play. With the show about to start and no manger in sight, they must investigate the congregation, interrogating a series of suspects—from wise men to overenthusiastic stagehands—each with their own hilarious alibi. As they piece together the mystery, the youth detectives (and the audience) are reminded that even without a manger, the true meaning of Christmas shines through. This skit features plenty of laughs, audience participation, and a heartwarming conclusion.
