WHAT
A comedic yet heartfelt monologue featuring an old man with strong opinions about everything: crowds, camels, cold weather, Roman taxes, inns that never have enough rooms, and people who don’t know how to mind their business. Through humor and sarcasm, he tells the Christmas story in his own way — complaining the whole time — while revealing that he knows Scripture deeply and cherishes the night Christ was born.
THEME
Seeing God’s truth beneath frustration, sarcasm, and human flaws. Even the grumpiest hearts can recognize Jesus.
WHO
Old Man – One actor, expressive, humorous, and capable of blending sarcasm with emotional depth.
HOW
Use a single chair center stage.
