A lively and humorous Christmas play suitable for Sunday School students of all ages. Depending on the number of children involved, the baby-sitter may be taking care of only a few children whose parents are away for the evening, or on a larger scale, the baby sitter is taking care of a group of day care children who are getting ready to take their afternoon naps.

As the baby-sitter gathers up her unruly charges, she begins to tell the story of Christ's birth which seems to have a peculiar calming effect on them. The story within the story within the story [this is not a typo] is a delightful blending of the present, the past, and the ethereal. God and his arch-angels play an important role in guiding the "wise" men to the new-born Christ.

Familiar Christmas hymns are suggested which may be sung by the congregation as a part of this dramatic presentation.
