Christmas: We’re On the Air is a Christmas musical for preschool through elementary age children.  This program includes 8 children’s Christmas songs and a script with both speaking and non-speaking parts.

Christmas: We’re On the Air is coming to you live from Studio 7 in downtown Bethlehem with an old-fashioned radio show – complete with a sound effects crew.
. . . The traffic reporter will deliver up-to-date traffic reports from around town.
. . . The weather reporter is forecasting clear skies  . . . a great night for looking at stars (and a few angels)!
. . . A news crew is live on the scene where a savior is reported to have been born in a barn in Bethlehem.
. . . The field reporters are on their way to investigate bright lights reported in the sky over a field where some shepherds have been watching their sheep.

The children will remind you to tune in for good news . . . good news that God’s promised Savior has been born and brings hope to the whole world.

You have your choice of a full-length 40-minute program or a short 20-minute program – similar script but less music.
