It's the most wonderful time of the year, and it should almost be the most wonderful day. Christmas is tomorrow! But when mishaps and accidents suddenly hit a family--from the babysitter trapped in the bathroom to a car wreck--the family will learn what can turn around The Worst Christmas Ever, a play by Elizabeth and Juliet Rowe.

That's right. It's been a while since I've read a play. Moreover, this is the first time I've read and reviewed a play for children, written by a young pair of show more sisters. I'm glad I didn't read the play's description/blurb beforehand, since it pretty much gives away the crux and conclusion of the matter. It was more delightful to discover the story's crux and conclusion for myself. (Of course, this is coming from someone who simply read the play for leisure and wasn't picking out a play to perform.)

This was an enjoyable read for me. It's cute and humorous with a serious and heartfelt holiday message in it. There's one aspect tied to the message, concerning the child characters, that I wish could've been a tad more realistic, but it doesn't ruin the story.

I'd recommend this play to any Christian group looking to put on a children's production--or to anyone else who can appreciate a quick and uplifting tale with refreshing innocence and Christmas warmth.
