I am Santa Claus!
I am very old.
My land is very, very cold.
In my sleigh with two reindeer
I bring presents every year.

The symbols of the year, the White Rabbit and the White Cat, enter the hall.

It's Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Yes, it's merry, merry Christmas,
It's time for hanging stockings,
It's time for riding sleighs,
It's time for jolly greeting,
Snow and holly, overeating,

Christmas Day, happy day!

Christmas Star: Christmas is a religious holiday. We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas. Every year the people of Norway give the city of London a present. It’s a big Christmas tree and it stands in Trafalgar Square. Most families write Christmas cards. In England almost every family receives more than 60 Christmas cards.

Snowflake 1: Christmas is always the happiest day of the year. Children like to think of it as their own holiday. But for everyone it is a very special time. The fun starts the night before, on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. Traditionally this is the day when people decorate their trees. Children hang stockings at the end of their beds hopping that Farther Christmas will fill them with toys and sweets.

Snowflake 2: Relatives usually meet for the big Christmas dinner. The traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and Christmas pudding. In England people make Christmas pudding before Christmas. Everyone in family stirs the pudding and makes a wish. It’s a traditional meal, which people cook for Christmas party. When the pudding is hot they put 5-penny pieces in it, a button or a ring. If you find a button in your piece of pudding you will be rich, a ring – marriage.

Clown: At Christmas we follow old customs. We feel the magic of the season. Most families decorate their houses with a Christmas tree, buy presents for the family and friends. Sometimes English families trim trees outside their houses and place candles in the windows. Red and green are the traditional Christmas colors.

Snow Maiden: The 26th December – Boxing Day is an extra holiday after Christmas. This day people usually give and receive presents. This is time to visit friends and relatives or to sit at home and watch football.

Master of Ceremony:

– Let’s sing our favorite song “Jingle Bells” the soundtrack of the song sounds.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
On a one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
On a one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow,
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way!
Bells on bob-tails ring,
Making spirits bright –
What fun is it to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
On a one-horse open sleigh!

Game moment.

Master of Ceremony: – Now, let’s make a wish!

(Santa Claus walks around the class with a bag and the children take out notes from the bag wishing for a comic gift in English. For example, “Dear Santa, bring me a kilo of snow, please!”)

Master of Ceremony: – Now, let’s play! “Where is the Rabbit’s tail?”

(Five 5th grade students come to the board. The task is to draw the symbol of the year of the White Rabbit on the board. Each draws their own symbol. The Master of the Ceremony chooses the best, and then erases the tails of the rabbits. Then five more students come out and blindfolded try Glue the pre-prepared fur tails to the image of the rabbits. The students are rotated around their axis several times. At the end of the competition, Santa Claus gives gifts to all participants.

Master of Ceremony: – Now, try to guess!

Girl 3: We were ready to go out on the streets to beg money, and become slaves
Girl 1: You came by our house in the dark of night, and you left a bag of gold for each of us.
Girl 2: You threw it into our chimney so nobody would know
Girl 3: And it landed in the socks that was getting dry by the fire
Girl 1: And these presents saved us all!
Girl 1: I found a wonderful husband.
Girl 2: I used mine to get a good education.
Girl 3: I started my own business.

All Girls: You were so kind, Saint Nicholaus (singing, leave the stage)

Narrator: But You don't look like Santa Claus.
Saint Nicholaus: Like A distant cousin, I should say.
in Holland and Germany.
On the feast day, I would come through the villages
after the children were asleep
and leave candies and coins in their shoes.
I wanted them to have a little taste of the wonderful gift
on Christmas day.
European settlers brought me across the sea to the New Land.
the American genius for advertising gave me a new life

The Snowman Song Lyrics
I'm a happy snowman,
white and fat.
Here are my buttons,
here is my hat.

Whew, it's hot as a melt away.

Whew, it's hot!
Hey!
It's getting cold again.

I'm a happy snowman,
white and fat.
Here are my buttons,
here is my hat.
When the sun comes out you'll hear me say,
whew, it’s hot as a melt away.

Whew, it’s getting really hot now.
Oh no!

I'm a sad snowman,
wet and flat.
Where are my buttons?
Where is my hat?
When the sun goes down you'll hear me say,
(Hey, it's getting cold again! Yeah!)
Hey it's cold again hooray!
Hey, it's cold again hooray!

Walk, walk, walk, like a snowman.
Dance, dance, dance like a snowman.
Jump, jump, jump like a snowman.
Turn, turn, turn like a snowman.

Oh it's getting hot again!
Melt, melt, melt like a snowman.

Russian girl: Certainly it is. Am I going mad?

Lights go down. Music.

Lights go up. Russian girl and Mr. Rabbit are going through the forest.

Chorus. Song “Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer”.

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolf
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say,
"Rudolf with your nose so bright,

you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,
you"ll go down in history!"

Rudolf appears. Russian girl and Mr. Rabbit run to him.

Rabbit: Mr. Rudolf we are so glad to see you. Can you help us to find snowdrops.

Rudolf: Snowdrops? What a strange idea! I can manage to get moss and lichen for you.

Russian girl: But we need snowdrops very much.

Rudolf: You need a real magician, you need Santa.

Russian girl: Where is he? Tell us, please, we are in a hurry.

Rudolf: I can't tell you. He is very busy now, he is preparing Christmas gifts for children. That's why nobody knows where he is. But you can ask Frosty.

Rabbit: Who is Frosty?

Chorus. Song “Frosty, The Snowman”.

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a carrot nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say.
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found,
For they put it on his head
He began to dance around!

O Frosty the snowman,
Was alive as he could be!
And the children say he could
Laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpty thump thump
Over the hills of snow…

Frosty (appears): Who called me?

Russian girl: Dear Frosty, can you show us the way to Santa’s house. We need his help. It’s Christmas Eve now and we’d like to get a basket of snowdrops on Christmas Day.

Frosty: What strange presents do people want to have on Christmas! OK, if you guess my riddles, I’ll show you the way.

Russian girl: We’ll try and I think children will help us (to the audience). Will you help us to guess Frosty’s riddles?

It's blue by night
By day it's white.
It is cold and not dry,
It falls from the sky. (Snow)

Fat and gay, on a winter day,
He came here with us to stay.
But day by day he grew sad and thin,
And so we brought his younger brother in. (A calendar)

In winter and in summer
They stand in one color. (A fir-tree and a pine)

This is the season
When children ski
And Santa brings
The bright Christmas tree. (Winter)

Frosty: Let's go that way. I'll follow you, you can lose yourselves. (They are going away).

Music. Chorus “I wish I were a snowman”

I wish I were a Snowman,
So tall and big and white.
I'd never have to clean my teeth,
Or go to bed at night.
But maybe Mister Snowman
Is wishing he were me,
For I'll be here when summer comes,
But where will the Snowman be?

Music. Song “Christmas is coming..”

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please, to put a penny
In an old man's hat
Please put a penny
In an old man's hat.
If you have no penny
A half-penny can do
If you have no half-penny
Then God bless you.

Lights go down.

Santa's house. (slide “Santa’s house”).

Santa Claus is picking up his bag.

Santa: A new nose for Rudolf, a new broom for Frosty, a beautiful hat for the caterpillar, a basket of snowdrops for the Queen. What else? Ah, they are coming. We'll see if they gain their presents.

All: Santa, hello. Help us, please!

Santa: All right! I’ve just learned a new and very modern dance. If you dance with me I’ll make all your wishes come true.

Dance. Everybody is dancing.

The clock strikes.

Santa: Christmas has come!
