I think that this year's Christmas pageant is going to be The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

It feels a little bit like cheating to use a ready-made story, but realistically speaking I am not going to have time to dream up an original script this fall. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever already has a reasonably UU sensibility, and someone else has already cut down a script that I can adapt. And I think the kids will have fun with it.

"But of course the hardest thing about doing a Christmas pageant is coming up with a fresh/original/insightful take on the standard story."

But does your audience really want it acted out in mime by people wearing fish masks? ("Why did the octopus strangle the girl with the ostrich-feather dress and the briefcase full of money?" "I think it's supposed to symbolize the wise men.") I'm all in favor of a little Dadaism in my religion, but that's almost certainly not the standard view.
