Holiday Treats: Plays, Monologues, Movies and…Chocolates!

It’s December 1st, friends! That means I can whip out our family’s 2022 Advent Calendars! Which would you choose? 1) Funko Marvel 2) Chocolates in a penguin 3) Cocktail truffles? Hm… Mind you, young folks, my advent calendar as a kid consisted of opening a door on Santa’s sleigh and the reward was viewing a drawing of a toy! And I had to rotate every third day, sharing with my 2 brothers. Ah, but since we didn’t know what chocolates we were missing, that paper sleigh was still so sweet.

December 1 also means that I can post sans judgment about all the fun Christmas and Holiday theater you’ve been emailing me about and downloading since August! And personally, I’m fine thinking Christmas in August—because holiday theater takes some prep. Auditions for Christmas plays started months ago, and seasonal rehearsals don’t rehearse themselves a week before they open, right (well…sometimes…)?

So enjoy a compilation of Christmas and Holiday goodies here! Christmas plays, holiday monologues, some of my favorite seasonal movies you may not have heard of, and even a handy “How to Write a Cheesy Hallmark Christmas Rom-Com” (you KNOW you all want to!). Enjoy the season!
