Old man. Lock him in the chest. (knock on the door)

Old woman. There is no one at home!!!

Look, as luck would have it, the neighbors accidentally arrived!

Old woman. I'll go to the city on Wednesday.

There is a market there on Wednesday.

There are a lot of rich people there

I’ll sell them the egg.

How they will give me a pile of money, throw me rubles,

I'll get myself a sheepskin coat

I am Siberian sables.

I'll buy new things -

There are forty different skirts.

Blue floral shawl-
I'll fill my chest to the brim!

Old man. Why are you telling tales,

Look, you've found a young lady

Dress up in different trash.

No, if we are rich, I’ll build a hut instead

Three-story chambers and gazebos in the corners!

Old woman. Punishment with a stupid husband!

What are you, old man, don't be a whim!

We live no worse than others.

We don't need floors.

And your neighbors will laugh at you for these gazebos!

Old man. Let them laugh, I don’t feel sorry!!!

Old woman. Calm down, don't scream!

There's a rolling pin falling on the floor,

The cast iron rattles in the furnace.

Oh, I don’t like the white light!

Old man. Am I the owner or not!?

Old woman. Oh, the egg rolled!

It rolled and broke.

And there were no shells left, everything disappeared somewhere!!!

Old man. Well, why are we bothering!?

Miracles are just trouble!

We will live as we lived before

And work as always!

And you can fix your fur coat and fix your house.

Old woman. The only thing that seems reliable is what comes to us through hard work!

Old man. Open the door, old woman! Why should we hide now?

Old woman. Hey neighbor, hey neighbor! Forgetting friends is not a bad idea!

Come in for an hour - my kvass is good!

And pickles and jams,

Come in without hesitation!

(Granny appears - Riddle)

Grandma Riddle : Hello, good people! I am Grandmother – Riddle, I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Leading: Hello Grandma- Riddle! We wish you a Merry Christmas too!

Leading: Grandma, tell the guys why they call you “Riddle.”

Grandmother-Riddle: I'm not an ordinary grandmother. I tell everyone fairy tales, show them, and I also know a lot of riddles and play games.

Leading: Will you play with us? Will you make riddles?

Grandmother-Riddle: My riddles today are not simple ones, but Christmas ones. Can you guess?(Children answer.)

There's a celebration in the whole world,

Because (Christmas)!

Not in palaces, and not in tents,

Baby Christ sleeps in (manger.)

How can they find the King?

The path will be shown to them (the star.)

There is nothing more humble in this world

A young girl (Maria.)

This angel brought news

That She (Christ) will be born.

The travelers took a long time to go to the census,
They did not find a place in the city:
Near Bethlehem there is a bare steppe,
The wretched one became their shelter... (Nativity scene)

Cave, manger, haystack,
Born in it... (Jesus Christ)

In the temples the face of the singers sings:
“The Virgin today of the Most Essential...” (gives birth)

This song, we know so,
It's called...(Kondak)

It shone in the dark sky then,
Lighting the way, holy... (Star)

Ordinary people learned the news.
In the night when the roosters had not yet crowed,
They hurried to the Baby's manger
And they glorified God... (Shepherds)

Behind the star, appearing
From the road blue,
It's a long road to Bethlehem
On three camels... (Magi)

(Santa Claus appears with a bag and sings “Christmas carol”)

Father Frost. Kolyada, Kolyada,

Give me some pie

Or a loaf of bread,

Or half a buck.

Who won't give me the pie?

That's a chicken leg.

Grandma Riddle. How many years have I lived, but I haven’t seen Santa Claus go caroling.

Father Frost. Why am I worse than other mummers - a bear, a goat, a buffoon? I decided to come and play with the kids once again on Christmas Day. Otherwise, after Epiphany, it’s time for me to go into the forest, add more frost, strengthen ice bridges on the rivers, spread more snow on the fields so that the mother earth will give more harvests.

Grandma Riddle. We are glad, Grandfather Frost, to see you, but you sing the wrong carols.

Father Frost. So how should it be?

Grandma Riddle. Carols should bring joy glorifying Jesus Christ and His Birth, and not “beg”.

Do you guys know carols?

Let's play. Some of you will read a carol, and we will have to praise it with friendly applause or stamp our feet if this carol is not good. Ready?

(CHILDREN sing carols):

Lada-ladushki-palms,

Let's go for a more expensive one

Yes to the neighbors with Kolyada

There's a crowd for gifts.

Kolyada, Kolyada,

It's Christmas Eve!

Open the chests -

Get your heels out!

Kolyada - carol

Give grandma some pie.

Won't you give me the pie? -

Let's lead the cow by the horns.

Won't you give me some flatbread?

Let's break the windows.

Ay, doo, doo, ah, doo, doo

And I'm going into the house. The stove is heating up and I want pancakes.

Give me the sausage - extends his hand

I'll take it home.

Give me another one, I'll be generous!

Give me a third one too

Don't drive with a whip -

Grandfather will eat

Three beards

nod your mustache

And remember you!

To all kind people
We wish you goodness, gold, silver!
Lush pies,
Soft pancakes!
Good health!
Cow butter!
All. To whomever we sing songs, it will come true,
It will come true, it will not pass away.

Good health,

Cow butter!

Merry Christmas!

I wish you a Merry Christmas too,

Which came to your house.

I wish everyone, everyone, that you are healthy!

You lived together for many years.

And we are robbers, robbers... The robbers are sitting in the forest and waiting for their next victim. It happens on Christmas Eve. So in their conversation the thieves mention the birth of Jesus. Suddenly a lone traveler appears, whom they try to rob. He found nothing valuable except a piece of paper with a song. When the stranger sings his song to the robbers, they think about their lives.

God is closer than you think One man did not believe in God. The Lord appeared to him in the form of a passerby when he was hit by a car. The man heard two voices. Someone was talking about him. He is given one last chance - he needs to find a person who will agree to die for him. Thanks to his believing wife, the main character learns that Jesus died for him. It happens around Christmas.

God's Messenger for Christmas One person tells a boy from a poor family about the Savior at Christmas. The boy tells his mother that the Lord has come to people. Mom doesn’t believe that God cares about them, because on their table there is only black bread and water. But then God’s messenger comes - a rich gentleman with gifts.

The Savior came into the world This performance tells the events of Christmas in an accessible form for children. The shepherds, the wise men, Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus are shown.

At Christmas everyone is a little wise man The Magi see a new star in the sky and rush to bow to the king. In the following scenes they meet with Herod and the shepherds.

What is Christmas all about? The TV show host asks his guests what Christmas is all about. Everyone has their own opinion.

Great Commission The main character of this scene is Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. At first, viewers see her as a little girl, dreaming that God would perform His miracles through her. Then on the stage is Mary the Bride, to whom an angel appears and announces the great commission of God. But it turns out that it is not so easy to implement.

Bethlehem (Christmas scene for children) Children (snowflake girls) participate in this small scene. The angel tells the snowflakes how he announced the good news of the birth of the Savior to the shepherds, and how the wise men went to worship Jesus.

Star of Bethlehem (children's Christmas party) A beautiful scene for children in verse. It is the Star of Bethlehem that tells the children the events of Christmas: about the wise men, the shepherds and Herod. At the end she leads everyone to Bethlehem. As the scenario progresses, children are asked biblical riddles.

Bethlehem night In the center of events is a small hotel in the city of Bethlehem, its owners and inhabitants. As a result of the census declared by Caesar, there were no vacancies left in the hotel. And one married couple is allowed to spend the night in the stable...

Christmas influence At the beginning of the scene, a modern family is shown. Mom, dad and their children are preparing for Christmas - buying gifts. At the same time, they swear and quarrel all the time. The girl turns to God asking for help, she wants to find out what Christmas really means. An angel appears to her and her brother, and then there are scenes of the Nativity.

Meeting at Christmas A small scene in which three girls or three teenage girls play. Two of them go to church for a Christmas service and are joined by their non-believing friend. The girls tell her why Christ was born and what He did for us.

Gifts of Artaban Artabanus is one of the wise men (magi) discussed in the Bible. The wise men, seeing a new star in the sky, went to Judea to worship the born King. Artaban fell behind his comrades and continued on his own. On the way, he squandered all his treasures, which he was going to give to the Baby, helping some people. He saw Jesus only on the cross. The Lord consoled him: “Everything you did for these people, you did for Me.”

The Little Match Girl (Christmas performance) This performance is based on the fairy tale of the same name by H.H. Andersen. A little girl tries to sell matches to passers-by. The girl is hungry and very cold. But people are like blank walls - no one pays attention to the poor girl. Other children, from rich families, leave the toy store with their parents - something our girl can only dream about. Giving up hope of selling matches, the chilled girl sits on the ground in some nook and starts lighting matches to warm up. At the same time, she sees what she is deprived of, what she dreams of: delicious food, a sleigh drawn by three horses, her beloved home and her grandmother, who has already died. The girl burns the remaining matches, trying to prolong the moments of vision of happiness... And so, the grandmother appears, gently takes the girl and goes with her to celebrate Christmas in heaven...

Merry Christmas indeed One woman could not understand the meaning of Jesus' birth. One Christmas day she saw a parrot freezing and tried to catch it to take it into the house. But the bird didn't give in. “If I could turn into a little bird, I would tell him how good and warm it is in my house,” our heroine thinks. - I understood! This is probably why Jesus became the same as us, to show us the way to heaven, to the Heavenly Father. And I understood! Jesus was born for me!

Progress of the event

1. Introduction

The classroom is decorated with a decorated Christmas tree, snowflakes, children's drawings and a Christmas nativity scene. (Nativity scene is an image of a cave where there is a holy family with the baby Christ, animals and shepherds and/or wise men who came to worship with gifts.)

The tables are placed around the perimeter of the classroom in a “P” formation. Parents sit in the outer circle, children in the inner circle. Children are smart, in costumes. The presenter is in Russian folk costume.

Slides are shown on the screen.

Decorated children with a star come out.

Child 1:

Under cover of the starry night
The Russian village is dozing;
All the way, all the paths
Covered with white snow...

Child 2:

Here and there lights on the windows,
Like stars are burning;
Runs towards the fire like a snowdrift
There's a crowd of guys with the star.

Child 3:

There's knocking under the windows...
“Your Christmas” is sung
"Waits! Waits!" -
It is heard here and there.

Child 4:

And in a discordant children's choir,
So mysteriously pure
The holy news is so gratifying
About the birth of Christ...

(A. Korinfsky “Christoslavs”)

The song "Christmas" plays:

A bright star is burning in the sky,
Mom says to the children at the Christmas tree:
“There is a celebration in the whole world,
It's Christmas!
Christmas has come!

Happy holiday, happy holiday
Adults and children
Even pranksters say this
Because the celebration
Because it's Christmas.
Christmas has come.

We don’t want to sleep at all that night,
I want, I want to go to the city of Bethlehem,
Watch the celebration
Where Christmas was.
Where Christmas was.

Teacher:

Good afternoon to all good people!
Let the holiday be merry,
Merry Christmas to you,
We wish you happiness and joy!

We will now tell you about this bright holiday of the Nativity of Christ and how it was celebrated in Rus'.

2. Scene “In the Nativity Cave”

Presenter: The holiday of the Nativity of Christ is the brightest joyful day for people. It was on this day that the Son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, was born to the Virgin Mary. And it was like that.

One day, the Roman governor Augustus ordered a census of the entire Jewish population. Each resident had to register where his ancestors lived. Joseph and the Virgin Mary went from Nazareth to the homeland of their ancestors, to the city of Bethlehem. There, all the places in the houses and in the hotel were occupied. Mary and Elder Joseph had to stop for the night in a cave where the shepherds were driving their cattle.

On this night, the Child, the Son of God, was born to Mary. She put him in the manger, where the cattle feed usually lay. A little bull and a donkey warmed the Baby Jesus with their breath, and Mother - the Mother of God - sang a lullaby to Him...

Children (7 people) come out to the music and read a poem by Sasha Cherny. Children can be dressed in shepherd costumes (3 people), bull, dog, and donkey masks.

In the manger I slept on fresh hay
Quiet tiny Christ.
The moon, emerging from the shadows,
I stroked the flax of His hair.

A bull breathed on a baby's face
And, rustling like straw,
On an elastic knee
I looked at it, barely breathing.

Sparrows through the roof poles
They flocked to the manger,
And the bull, clinging to the niche,
He crumpled the blanket with his lip.

The dog, sneaking up to the warm leg,
Licked her secretly.
The cat was the most comfortable of all
Warm a child sideways in a manger...

Subdued white goat
I breathed on His forehead,
Just a stupid gray donkey
He pushed everyone helplessly.

"Look at the child
Just a minute for me too!”
And he cried loudly
In the pre-dawn silence...

And Christ, having opened his eyes,
Suddenly the circle of animals moved apart
And with a smile full of affection,
He whispered: “Look quickly!..”


Presenter: This is how Christ was born. Not in chambers, not in rich houses, but in a cave where shepherds kept calves and sheep. He came into the world with humility and meekness.

The shepherds were the first to know about this. The Angel of the Lord appeared to them and announced:

An Angel appears with a candle (an elegant girl in a white dress with wings) and solemnly says:

Angel:

I am God's Angel, I call the shepherds,
I want to proclaim great joy to you.

Our Savior, the Lord, was born,
Incarnated in human flesh.

There is celebration on earth and in heaven,
Christ God Christmas!

Presenter: The angel commanded the shepherds to go to the cave and worship the Child. Then astrologers - magi - came from distant countries.

An unusual star that rose in the east led them to Bethlehem from distant countries and indicated the place where the Son of God was born. From now on, this star is called the Bethlehem star, and it is its image that the Christoslavs carry with them.

And the wise men brought gifts to the baby and glorified Him.

Children dressed as Magi with gifts in their hands read poems by Joseph Brodsky “Christmas”:

1 reader:

The Magi have arrived. The baby was fast asleep.
The star shone brightly from the sky.
The cold wind shoveled the snow into a snowdrift.
The sand rustled. The fire crackled at the entrance.

Reader 2:

The smoke was like a candle. The fire curled like a hook.
And the shadows became shorter,
then suddenly longer. No one around knew
that the count of life will begin from this night.

Reader 3:
The Magi have arrived. The baby was fast asleep.
Steep arches surrounded the manger.
The snow was swirling. White steam swirled.
The baby was lying, and the gifts were lying.


They place the gifts in front of the nativity scene, bow and leave.

Teacher: These events are more than 2000 years old. After all, we count the years precisely from the Nativity of Christ and are soon preparing to welcome 2017.

3. Sketch “Winter”

Presenter: Guys, at what time of year does this holiday come to us?

Children: In winter.

Teacher: Do you know songs about winter or winter trees?

Children sing the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.” The heroes of the song come out one by one: a bunny, a wolf and a peasant. They are dressed in appropriate costumes and play their roles: a bunny gallops, a wolf sneaks, a man rides a horse, and then chops down a Christmas tree.


Presenter: Well done, you sing well. How can you solve riddles?

Ears on top of head.
Listen carefully,
We'll start, and you'll finish
Definitely in rhyme!

Children come out and take turns asking riddles:

Flew above the ground for a long time
Snow-white blanket.
The sun is a little hot -
The blanket is leaking
And it went into the wells of the rivers.
This blanket is... (snow).

Cold, frost, snowstorms
They spun and spun.
Everyone at home is wearing white hats,
This came to us...( winter).


There was barely a breath of winter,
They are always with you.
Two sisters will warm you up,
Their names are ...(mittens).

It's snowing outside,
Holiday coming soon...( New Year).

The needles glow softly,
The pine spirit comes from ...(Christmas trees).

Everyone is spinning, having fun,
They are frolicking near the Christmas tree.
After all, today is a celebration.
What kind of holiday? (Christmas).


4. Scene “Herringbone”

Presenter: And now we will tell you how the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree for the holiday began. An ancient legend says this...

On the night when the Savior was born, not only people and animals, but also all the flowers and trees hurried to bow to the Baby.

Flower children come out in elegant dresses with crowns in the form of flowers (3 girls) and a Christmas tree in a green dress.

1 flower girl:

We are flower flowers
We are growing silently.

2 flower girl:

This night is a night
The most fragrant.


Christmas tree: Where are you going, flowers? You're supposed to sleep at night...

3 flower girl:

This night is a night
The light shines brighter.
Bow down to your feet
We go to the Baby.

Christmas tree: Take me with you, my dear flowers, take me too to worship the Child Christ.

1 flower girl: But you have no flowers, Christmas tree, and your needles can only prick a baby. ( leaving)

Christmas tree(sad):

No one. I'm lonely alone.
The night is quiet. The star is calling, burning.
Everybody left. Everyone worship God
They rush joyfully to the holy cave.

(swings)

Prickly, forgotten tree.
Unnecessary, I stand in my own wilderness.
The flowers are right. I'm only for the Baby
Here I will pray quietly from the bottom of my heart.

He prays with his palms folded. The leader from behind comes up to her and puts on a gauze veil, decorated with tinsel and Christmas tree decorations.

The lights on the Christmas tree in the classroom are lit.

Presenter:(solemnly)

And the diamonds of sorrowful tears flashed, lighting up on her,
And Christ turned around, smiling at her radiance.
And from now on, people call it the Christmas tree.
And modest needles shine in the fire of Christmas candles.

The shepherds and flowers are returning.

In their hands are toys that the children made themselves, as well as beads.

Shepherds: (together) Look, the stars have fallen from the sky!

1st shepherd: The whole Christmas tree is shining!

2nd shepherd: God created a miracle...

3rd shepherd: Christmas tree, Christmas tree, how beautiful you are!

Flowers: You are the most beautiful... God adorned you.

4th shepherd: All in lights! In crystals, droplets!

5th shepherd: For your humility, Christmas tree, for your kindness, the Lord God noted you.

1st shepherd: Now from now on and forever people will glorify you and adorn you.

Flowers: Let's decorate our Christmas tree too.

They hang toys on the Christmas tree, and put beads on the Christmas tree girl.


ANDThe song “The Little Christmas Tree is Cold in Winter” is sung:

Little Christmas tree
It's cold in winter.
A Christmas tree from the forest
We took it home.
How many on the Christmas tree
Colored balls,
Pink gingerbread,
Golden cones.
The beads were hung,
Bright balls,
Sweets, gifts -
Everything for the kids.
Christmas tree likes
Our celebration.
Fun, fun
Let's celebrate Christmas!


Game “What doesn’t happen on the Christmas tree?”

Presenter: We will name different objects for you, and if you hear the name of Christmas tree decorations, clap your hands and say “Yes!”

If we name something that does not happen on the Christmas tree, we must restrain ourselves and remain silent. Try not to make a mistake. Ready?

Children come out and read in turn:

So the holiday has come,
Everyone decorated the Christmas tree.
Who, guys, will confirm -
Hanging on its branches:

Is the asterisk the top?
A loud cracker?
Is Petenka parsley?
Soft pillow?

White snowflakes?
Vibrant pictures?
A ball of cobwebs?
Old shoes?

Red lanterns?
Bread crumbs?
Bright flags?
Hats and scarves?

Apples and cones?
Colin's pants?
Tasty candy?
Old newspapers?

5. Sketch “Carolers”

Presenter: This is what our Christmas tree is like – elegant, beautiful, bright! And the custom of putting gifts under the tree came from the gifts that the Magi brought to the infant Christ. How we love the scent of the Christmas tree and the anticipation of gifts!

And before, Christoslav the carolers went home. Christ was glorified, the owners were congratulated. And they were sure to treat them.

Enter carolers in Russian folk costumes with a star. They have a bag of treats in their hands.


Caroler 1:

Kolyada! Kolyada!
Give me some pie
Ali a loaf of bread,
Ali money about half!
Al wheat relatives.

Caroler 2(sprinkles with grains):

Here's some wheat for you,
We shower you, we wish you well!
Happiness is a free bird,
She sat where she wanted!

Caroler 3.(Sprinkles with peas):

Here are some peas for a heap of luck,
Those who are good at reading and writing will not be lost!

Caroler 4: We know how to praise, we don’t dare ask for much!

Caroler 5:

Open the chest, take out the patch.
Serve some candy and make the kids happy!

Children give candy to carolers.

The Russian folk song “Like a little white snow fell on thin ice” is performed. Vanya comes out on a horse, falls, girls run up to him and see him off.


Like on thin ice
A little white snow fell.
Eh, winter-winter,
It was a snowy winter.

A little white snow fell
Vanechka, my friend, was driving.
Eh, winter-winter,
It was a snowy winter.

Vanya was driving, in a hurry,
He fell off his good horse.
Eh, winter-winter,
It was a snowy winter.

He fell, he fell, he lies,
Nobody runs to Vanya.
Eh, winter-winter,
It was a snowy winter.

Two girlfriends saw
They ran straight to Vanya.
Eh, winter-winter,
It was a snowy winter.

Caroler 1:

Ay, thank you, owners,
Peace to your home,
May he be a full cup.

Caroler 2:

Cheerfully shines
A month over the village.
White light sparkles
Blue light.

Caroler 3:

Moon's rays
God's temple is drenched.
Cross under the clouds
Like a candle burning.

Caroler 4:

Nativity!
The soul is light!
Feast of the Saint
The sun has risen.

Caroler 5:

For hello, for the treat, please accept congratulations,
Merry Christmas! We wish you happiness and joy!

They bow and leave.

Oh, yes, carolers!
Ay, well done! (Bows to the teacher)
Ay, thank you, mistress,
Peace to your home,
May he be a full cup.
Well, kids, it’s good for you to study,
Everything will come in handy in life!

Teacher:(brings out a big pie)

We're bringing the pies out of the oven!
Help yourself, good people!
We treat you to pies,
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Russian folk music sounds. Children give bells to their parents. Parents treat everyone to pies, gingerbread, tea and sweets.



The goal is to promote faith in the Savior Jesus Christ, to introduce children to the traditions and customs of folk culture.

(A. Malinin’s song “Christmas Rus'” sounds)

1 and 2 presenters come out:

1 - Happy holiday! Merry Christmas!

This holiday is celebrated by millions of people around the world. They have one thing in common - faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas has become an event for humanity. Now we count years from the birth of the Savior.

2 – At our holiday we will tell you the story of Christmas and introduce you to the culture of our ancestors. Of course, there is no need to idealize the past. But we still need to honor and respect the traditions and customs of our people, understanding that a person of that time was brought up by the environment and the way of life in which he found himself. Our ancestors had a lively Christmas tradition of waiting for and performing a miracle. And miracles really happened.

(they leave; the reader comes out)

Here comes the Christmas holiday -
The Christmas tree was cut down.
And in the clothes of the celebration
They dressed up magnificently.
There's a row of candles on the Christmas tree,
Twisted lollipop,
There are juicy grapes in the bunches,
Gilded gingerbread.
Suddenly there were fruits
Dark branches
The Christmas tree was brought into the room -
Have fun kids!
The mother works for the children,
He reads toys to them,
Remove the tree for them -
Busy day and night.

2nd presenter:

In the old days, preparations for the holiday began in the last week before Christmas. In the evening, the whole family glued toys and painted nuts on the Christmas tree in silver and gold.

Decorating a Christmas tree is the most enjoyable experience. We dress her up with bright balls, garlands, and rain. And earlier, just a few 200 - 300 years ago, the Christmas tree was decorated with vegetables from the garden, which were previously decorated.

(decorate a small artificial Christmas tree, show the children how our ancestors decorated the Christmas tree).

What vegetable was hung on the Christmas tree?

Potato. At first these were silver-plated and gilded potatoes. Then they learned how to blow glass balls, and the art of making them was kept in the strictest confidence and passed down by masters. These balls were expensive and beyond the means of many.

Nowadays the good tradition of hanging sweets on the Christmas tree has already been lost, but it is much tastier and more tempting for children to remove sweets from the tree and eat them than to get them from the table.

What sweets were used to decorate the Christmas tree in Rus'?

Gingerbread.

Previously, children in Rus', even in rich families, did not eat sweets randomly and almost every day, but received them for the holiday, in a little bag. Sometimes sweets were hung on the Christmas tree, and then the children received them as a prize.

First, they hung ruddy apples on the tree, then tangerines, then gilded and silver nuts, crackers and, of course, gingerbread cookies.

What is the main toy of Christmas? Or is it also called the good news of Christmas?

Of course, an angel. It was very expensive to buy this toy in a store back then, so they made it themselves. Literally everything was used: cotton wool, silk, tulle. paper, fluff, feathers.

New Year and Christmas cards also have their own history. The postcard first appeared in Russia a little over 100 years ago (1898). Money from the postcards sold went to charity. Artists tried to make them not just beautiful, but sometimes real works of art. It was covered with gloss, velvet, and the snow was made from boric acid and was surprisingly similar to the real thing. The themes of the drawings were different: these are cheerful children sledding down the mountains, young people caroling with the Star of Bethlehem, funny little animals, angels, candles on Christmas trees.

There was a time when the Soviet government banned the production of Christmas cards. She did not recognize the holiday of Christmas, and only very recently cards appeared with the joyful inscription: “Happy New Year!”, “Merry Christmas!”.

Do you know the first biblical Christmas tree decoration? Name it.

This is the Star of Bethlehem. It was a special joy to make the Star of Bethlehem, which was to crown the forest beauty. The legend says: “When the Divine Child was born, everyone around rejoiced, everything rejoiced. At the entrance to the cave where Christ was born, there were 3 trees: a palm tree, an olive tree and a fir tree. They also wanted to offer their gifts to Christ.

The palm tree laid a luxurious leaf at the baby’s feet, the olive filled the cave with a fragrant aroma. One tree has nothing to give. Out of embarrassment, she bent her branches low to the ground. But suddenly a thousand multi-colored stars descended on the branches of the Christmas tree. She became so elegant and beautiful that when the baby woke up, his eyes fell on the beautiful shining Christmas tree. He smiled and extended his hands to her.

An angel descended from heaven and said to the tree: “Let this be your reward for your humility. You will always be clothed in evergreen, and every year you will glorify Christmas with the brilliant stars that will adorn your branches.”

Sprouted grains of rye (zhita) were also placed under the tree along with gifts - a symbol of new life and a generous harvest.

1st presenter: (against the background of folk music)

The day before Christmas was called Christmas Eve (January 6). By January 6, that is, Christmas Eve, the huts were thoroughly cleaned, the floors were polished with juniper, and the tables were covered with clean tablecloths. Until January 6, we observed fasting and ate only kutya with honey and juice. Only in the evening, with the appearance of the first star, did the fast end. People kneaded pies, made pancakes, kneaded dough for donuts. The festive table was being prepared. So that the baby Christ could look into the house, all kinds of toys were placed on the window.

The stove was well heated in the house. The stove played a major role in the house. There was even a saying: “dance from the stove,” that is, start from the main thing. The stove was used for heating the room and cooking. They slept on the stove, stored things, dried grain, onions, and garlic. In winter, poultry and young animals were kept near it. According to popular belief, the Brownie lives under the stove or behind it - the soul of the hut, the patron of the hearth, kind and helpful, if there is harmony and love in the house. In the old days he was affectionately called “master” or “grandfather.” And they imagined him in the guise of a little man with a gray beard. The main responsibility of the brownie is to look after the household and help with housework.

Diagonally from the stove in the hut there is a red corner. It was a holy place - icons were placed in it. That is why the place was called “holy”. In the red corner, daily prayers were performed, from which any important undertaking began.

They tried to keep the red corner clean and decorate it elegantly. The name “red” means beautiful, good and bright.

There was also a table in the red corner. All significant events of family life were celebrated in the red corner; there were benches and benches along the table. All this was festively decorated for Christmas with Christmas tree branches.

Angel: A golden star has lit up in the sky, this star is not at all easy!
I bring you great joy that will be for everyone!
Today the Savior of the world Jesus Christ was born. Do you see the light?
He brought love into the world. And each of you felt it in your heart.
God wanted to become a man in order to die for us. To say with this: “I am. I love you".
(leaves)

Star: (dances to the music)

My path is long. The sun will rise -
I will merge with the heavens.
I'll wait for the night - I'll light up again
Before human eyes.
(sings the song “Christmas”)

That night the earth was in turmoil...
The light of a big strange star
Illuminated all the mountains and villages, cities, deserts and gardens.
And in the desert the lionesses watched how they were full of wondrous gifts.
The chariots moved silently, camels and elephants walked importantly.
And in the brow of a large caravan, with his eyes fixed on the sky
Three kings in intricate turbans were riding to bow to someone.
And in the cave, where the torches did not go out all night, blinking and smoking
There the lambs saw a beautiful child sleeping in a manger.
That night the whole creature was in commotion.
Birds sang in the midnight darkness, announcing goodwill to everyone.
The coming of peace on earth.
(leaves)

Star:

In the tender warm palms of the earth
The City of David sleeps peacefully.
And from afar the wise men brought gold, incense and myrrh.
The stars of Bethlehem echo the rays of angels in the wondrous scherzo
A quiet motive, like an echo, sounds in a pure shepherd’s heart.
Night reigns, dawn is still long, the sky is like the belly of a vessel.
And light pours out from the manger - a miracle uncovered by darkness.
Herod suffers from insomnia. Fear writhes in the velvet of folds.
And a child in his mother’s arms has a serene and sweet sleep.
And to this day the signs of his visit are clear to everyone
Sleeps like a baby wrapped in dreams
The world is in the cradle of forgiveness.
(leaves)

Wanderer: (against music)

I will tell you a story that happened more than 2 thousand years ago. This is the story of how the son of God Jesus Christ was born on earth. His mother was the girl Maria. Even before her birth, Mary’s parents made a vow to dedicate the girl to serving God. When Mary was 3 years old, according to tradition, she was brought into the temple for the first time. From a young age until her girlhood, Mary should have lived at the temple. She was raised there for 12 years. Having reached adulthood, the girl had to leave the temple. The priest, as expected, chose a “betrothed” for her - an elderly widower, in whose house she, keeping her vow, would run the household. The choice fell on Joseph of Nazareth. After the betrothal, Mary settled in Joseph's house, where an event took place that the church honors as one of the greatest holidays - the Annunciation. An angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced that she would give birth to the Son of the Most High.

Jesus was born a simple man and grew up in an ordinary family. Christ was born to atone for the sins of all people. He brought goodness and light into the world. Jesus healed suffering and illness: the blind began to see, the deaf began to hear, and the lame began to walk.

Jesus wanted people to become better people, so that we could become like God.

(song “Christ is born”)

Wanderer:

All Orthodox Christians celebrate the biggest holiday on earth - Holy Christmas.

What is the divine meaning of this holiday? The first people were immortal and pure until they committed original sin. People have forgotten God. The world has plunged into evil. But the star of Bethlehem lit up in the sky. The Lord sent His Son for our salvation. People again became sons of God. Jesus Christ atoned for our sins with his death. This holiday is called the mother of all holidays in the world. He teaches us to believe, educates our hearts so that we learn to forgive, sympathize, understand each other, tolerate the shortcomings of others - in a word, so that we learn to love the people around us. Every person will definitely come to faith, but everyone has their own path. Faith grows from the very depths of human nature. A person cannot live without faith, without support. His world must necessarily include a sense of faith: in God, in salvation, in happiness. To goodness, to yourself. And if there is no faith, a breakdown occurs in the soul. A person becomes bitter, angry, and cynical.

From time immemorial, our people have been distinguished by their strong faith. He was close to God.

2 presenter:

The 12 days from Christmas to Epiphany are called Svyatki - holy days. The first week, from Christmas to New Year according to the old style, was spent in sheer joy, there were festivities, people went to caroling. Our ancestors believed that in the cold of December the sun dies and then returns again.

Kolyada was the celebration of the reborn sun. Children and youth gathered, went from house to house singing carols, and the hosts treated the guests. According to custom, carolers must be greeted with food and given generously. There is such a sign: the better the treat, the better the year.

(there is a Russian hut on stage, the owner is at the table.

Carolers enter with a star)

Carolers:

Kolyada arrived on the eve of Christmas!
Give me the cow, the oil head!
And God bless whoever is in this house!
His rye is thick, his rye is tight!
He gets an octopus from an ear of grain, and a log from a grain of grain.
Half-grain pie. The Lord would grant you
And life, and being, and wealth!
And may the Lord create even better things for you!

You are a good uncle! Give me money for the passage!
If you give me away, you won’t give me away, we’ll wait, stand at the gate!
Golden head, silk beard!
Give me a pie for the sake of the holiday of Christ
A pie - at least fresh, at least sour, and even wheat!
(they help themselves and leave)

The children put everything that was given in the houses into a bag, and then ate it together. This is how we had fun from January 7 to 14, according to the new style.

The kids will dress up in whatever they want: beggars, old people, they’ll take a basket and go home, they’ll go into a house and let’s dance, praising the owners.

(carolers come in)

1 caroler:

Kolyada! Kolyada! Holy carol!
We walked, we looked for the holy carol.
We found a carol at Ivan's yard.
Ivan's yard on 7 pillars, on 8 versts,
The pillars are turned and gilded.
The lady lived here, the empress lived.
She served us some pie.
Serve me a pie - a whole yard of my belly,
If you don't serve me the pie, I'll drive you out of the yard!

2 caroler:

Carols - carols, the snow is flowing sharply,
An early star rises and lights up the Christmas trees.
The snow crunches under the windows, the ice is smooth,
If you are not greedy, you will be full: serve carols
Sweet Christmas Eve!
The ancient wisdom is holy and glorified in carols:
If there is kindness in the heart, there will be more in the bins!
Carol - carol! The cold is no problem with you!
Conjure a Christmas carol for a wedding.
May the Lord send you a fruitful year.
Yes, bread on the table and peace on earth!
(they bow, eat and leave)

Our ancestors believed that words have a special mysterious power. If you come to a house and sing a song to the owner calling for happiness and harvest, then these wishes will certainly come true. It happened that the owner was greedy or did not give anything, then the carolers sang mischievous carols with comic threats:

1 caroler:

If you don't give me the pie, you'll make an enemy.
If you don’t provide kvass, you’ll make yourself sad.
If you don’t blink, there will be poverty for centuries!
Serve, don't break, don't bite!
If you don't give me the pie, we'll take the cow by the horns!
(the caroler quickly leaves; the owner leaves the stage)

1 presenter:

There is no other holiday in Rus' that is accompanied by such a rich set of customs, rituals and signs as the Christmas holiday.

Christmas time is a mixture of pagan and Christian rituals. The pagans of Ancient Rus' glorified Kolyada, the god of feasts and peace. During Christmas time it was customary to dress up in various costumes and wear masks. This tradition has been preserved to this day: going from house to house and singing carols. Similar rituals were carried out three times during Christmas time: on Christmas Eve, on New Year’s Eve and on the eve of Epiphany.

Well, on the night from the 13th to the 14th the Orthodox New Year begins. This holiday is usually celebrated with dumplings, but not simple ones, but with surprises. “Surprise” is a prediction of the future. It was important to chew the dumpling carefully so as not to swallow the surprise. If an owl gets into the dumpling, it means intelligence, wisdom; heart - mutual love; barbell - strength, health; thread - road, grain - wealth; flower - happiness; button - renewal; sugar - sweet life; pepper - spicy sensations; salt - quarrel.

Well, of course, who doesn’t want to know their future? And although this is not encouraged by the Christian religion, on the night of January 13th to 14th everyone was guessing.

From time immemorial, fortune telling has been an integral part of the culture of rituals, part of the most ancient ritual culture. The most suitable days for fortune telling were Monday and Friday; Thursday was known as the day of the Sabbath of all evil spirits. According to legend, on Black Thursday the demonic council decided to destroy Jesus Christ. The ancient Slavs used circles to tell fortunes. They painted wooden mugs black and white. They threw it on the ground and saw what color the circle would be.

There was also such a sign: whoever sneezes on New Year will live a great year. On this day we tried not to drink wine or swear. After all, it was believed that how you spent New Year’s Day would be like that for the rest of the year.

2 presenter:

Here's another fortune telling. On this day, they brought a sieve with snow into the hut and put as many marked spoons on it as there were people in the family. Then they filled the spoons with water and took them out into the cold. In whose spoon the water freezes evenly, he will live a long time. On New Year's Day it was not customary to borrow or lend, and chickens were not fed. They looked for grains under the table - if they found them, then this meant a good life, a bountiful harvest.

They often told fortunes on a platter. The young people, who wanted to know what awaited them next year, took a large dish. They poured water into it and threw rings. They sang in chorus, and one person, without looking, took someone’s ring out of the cup. What was being sung at that moment was what awaited the owner of the ring. After telling fortunes on a platter, the girls ran out into the yard and threw the shoe over the fence. Where he points, in that direction is the house of the future husband.

Yes, there are a lot of fortune telling in the world. Here’s the simplest thing: go out the gate and ask the first person you meet for their name. Whatever name he gives, that’s what the groom will have. They told fortunes on Christmas time alone. The girl put a basin of water in front of her and launched 2-3 boats: one with her name, the others with the names of the grooms. Whose boat catches up with her will be the groom.

And at midnight the most terrible fortune telling began. A girl sits in front of a mirror, candles are burning on the sides. And he sits, doesn’t move, peers carefully into the darkness. Will someone else's image be reflected? If he appears, you need to quickly cover the mirror with a handkerchief, otherwise, according to legend, someone will hit you hard.

(scene with fortune telling)

1 presenter:

In the villages there was such a fortune-telling: before going to bed, a girl would put 4 splinters of wood, folded in the form of a quadrilateral, under her pillow. This was called “putting a well under your head.” At the same time, she says the usual phrase: “The betrothed is a mummer, come, water the horse!”

They often told fortunes in the baths. This is the only place where there are no icons. They sat in front of the mirror, lit candles, froze in fear, peering until they fainted into the mysterious darkness. They also told fortunes like this: they brought a chicken, placed a mirror, a ring, a piece of bread, and water in front of it. If she started drinking water, it meant that the husband would be a drunkard; if she looked in the mirror, then the husband would be a dandy, and if a chicken pecked at a piece of bread, it meant that the husband would be a good master.

Leaders 1 and 2.

1: But everything, as they say, comes to an end. With the arrival of the Epiphany holiday, the fun with mummers and fortune-telling ends at the ice hole called Jordan. The ice hole cools down the heated ardor and washes away all sins. Houses, buildings, and gardens were sprinkled with holy water, driving away all evil spirits from them.

According to legend, Jesus Christ was baptized at the age of 30 by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The rite of Baptism - washing with water symbolized the beginning of the feat of Jesus Christ in the name of the salvation of mankind.

2: During Baptism, as the Gospel testifies, the Savior prayed to his Heavenly Father. During the prayer, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on the Savior in the form of a dove and a voice was heard: “Behold, my beloved son.” This is how the appearance of the Heavenly Father Jesus Christ took place - the Epiphany. Hence the second name of the holiday - Epiphany. It is believed that if a person is baptized on the feast of Epiphany, he will be happy and will be protected by the Mother of God.

Scenario for Christmas

The hall is decorated with garlands, stars, there is a red Christmas candle on the window, the tree is decorated with white and blue balls. “Ave Maria” by F. Schubert sounds.

1st reader.
It was winter
The wind was blowing from the steppe.
And it was cold for the baby in the den
On the hillside.
The breath of the ox warmed him.
Pets
We stood in a cave
A warm haze floated over the manger.
Shaking off the dust from the bed
And millet grains,
Watched from the cliff
Wake up at midnight
There are shepherds in the distance.
And nearby, unknown before,
Shy than the bowl at the gatehouse window.
A star twinkled on the way to Bethlehem.
2nd reader.
The growing tree glowed above her
And it meant something
And three stargazers
They hurried to the call of unprecedented lights.
They were followed by gifts on camels.
And donkeys in harness, one small one
The other one was walking down the mountain in small steps.
1st reader.
It was getting light. Dawn is like specks of ash,
The last stars were swept from the sky.
And only the Magi from the countless rabble
Mary let him into the hole in the rock.
He slept, all radiant, in an oak manger.
Like a ray of moonlight in the hollow of a hollow.
They replaced his sheepskin coat
Donkey lips and ox nostrils.
We stood in the shadows, as if in the darkness of a stable,
They whispered, barely finding words.
Suddenly someone in the dark, a little to the left
He pushed the sorcerer away from the manger with his hand,
And he looked back: from the threshold at the maiden,
Christmas.
B. Pasternak “Christmas Star”
2nd reader.
The Magi have arrived.
The baby was fast asleep.
The star shone brightly from the sky,
The cold wind shoveled the snow into a snowdrift.
The sand rustled, the fire crackled at the entrance.
The smoke was like a candle. The fire swirled
Crochet,
And the shadows became shorter,
Then suddenly it’s longer.
No one around knew
That the count of life will begin from this night.

The holiday of the Nativity of Christ is the brightest and most joyful day for many people. It was on this day that the Virgin Mary’s son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, was born. Christmas is celebrated exactly 9 months after another church holiday - the Annunciation (April 7), when an angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced the good news that she would give birth to the Son of God.
2nd presenter.
The first time Christmas was celebrated in Rus' was in 988. It is on this holiday that a strange combination of Christian and pagan rituals is observed. Traditionally, in Rus', even before the adoption of Christianity, pagan holidays fell at the end of December. “In order to turn Christians away from godless pagan games,” the church fathers decided to celebrate Christmas on December 25. But everyone knows that Russia is a country where the connection of the incompatible is possible. And still at Christmas we tell fortunes, sing carols, put on fancy dress and masks. It is almost impossible to list all the customs and irids. Each of the holidays is scheduled minute by minute.
1st presenter.
They prepared thoroughly for the holiday; a few days before Christmas, all work stopped: it was believed that otherwise the year would pass in hard work, without rest. Strict fasting begins 6 weeks before the start of the holiday. People of wealth considered it their duty these days to help the poor. They set up almshouses and prisons and distributed alms.
2nd presenter.
On Christmas Eve - Christmas Eve - food was not allowed until the appearance of the first star, which marks the birth of the Savior of the world. When this Christmas star rose in the sky, everyone hurried to the festive table. There had to be some hay or straw on the table. Until midnight, at the table they usually consumed lean meat, “Christmas kutya”, and only after that they consumed meat-eater, and the great Meat Eater began. Turkey with apples is considered a Christmas dish. But it is not so. Do you know the dishes that were eaten at Christmas?

On the eve of Christmas and on the day of the holiday, they dressed in everything new, and even changed their clothes several times, so that they would be new all year. Christmastide begins on January 8, lasting 12 days until Epiphany. According to ancient belief, on Christmastide the newborn God wanders the earth and sends out generous gifts; Whatever you ask for in prayer, you will receive. It was believed that at this time the most cherished desires were fulfilled. Christmastide was accompanied by its own customs and rituals - Christmastide festivities, Christmastime caroling, generosity, fortune telling at Christmas, New Year and Epiphany. Christmastide was a time of rest, games, entertainment, and festivities.
2nd presenter.
On these days, carolers walked around the courtyards, glorified Christ, sang ritual songs, wished happiness and prosperity to the owners, and collected gifts. But there was one secret - they came only to those houses that had a candle on the window...

The presenter lights a candle on the window, at this time there is a knock on the door. Solokha appears.

Solokha.
Hello, dear guests! I came to your Christmas gathering. I want to congratulate you on this magical, wonderful, unusual holiday! May all your wishes come true! You know that miracles can happen on Christmas, unusual guests can appear...

There's a knock on the door. A boy enters with a bag filled with oats.

Boy.
I sow, I winnow, I sow,
Merry Christmas!
Be born, little wheat,
Peas, lentils!
There are heaps of them on the field.
There are pies on the table.
I sow, I winnow, I sow,
Oats, rye,
By the grace of God!

At the words “I sow, winnow, sow,” the boy throws 3 handfuls of grains from the bag. Solokha gives him a gift. The boy leaves.

Solokha.
Well, the first guest came in to see the light. By the way, the grain that you collected needs to be preserved, it will bring happiness to your home.

Solokha.
And here come the guests with carols!

The mummers enter, in front is a fur-bearer with a beard and mustache, wearing a sheepskin coat worn inside out, with a laugh for collecting gifts.

Solokha.
Come in, dear guests!

Everyone goes to the center of the room and sings a carol.
Kolyada, Kolyada! And sometimes there is a carol
It's Christmas Eve!
Kolyada has arrived -
Christmas has arrived!
And God forbid that
Who's in this house:
The rye is thick for him,
Dinner rye!
He's about as big as an octopus,
From the grain he has a carpet,
Half-grain pie!
The Lord would grant you
And living and being,
And wealth!
And create for you, Lord,
Even better than that!
Next in order:
Give you, Lord,
Cattle, belly,
cow with calf,
sheep with lamb,
horse with foal,
a pig and a piglet!
In chorus.
Open the chest
Give me a piglet!
Even a pancake, even a lard wedge,
Either cookies or jam.
We're in for a treat!
Solokha.
Yes, you sang to glory,
For fun, for fun.
Mechonosha, where is the bag?
Have some pie!
And lambs and candies,
And a dime for gingerbread.

Solokha gives gifts to the mummers and invites them to get-togethers.

1st presenter.
An indispensable condition of the Christmas holiday was dressing up in masks and masquerade costumes. This tradition is also very ancient. The church did not encourage such dressing up, and then masquerade lovers had to “cleanse themselves of filth” by swimming in winter rivers (on the day of the Epiphany).
2nd presenter.
They also organized performances at Christmas. Everyone at home took part in them. Children and adults sewed costumes for themselves, learned roles, and made scenery.
Solokha.
And we offer a performance to people who are surprised by everything.

Scenes from N.V. Gogol’s story “The Night Before Christmas” are played out - from the words “Now let’s see what the beautiful daughter does when left alone...” to the words “Wait, I’ll open it myself...”. Then from the words “Meanwhile, the devil was getting seriously softened up at Solokha’s...” to the words “Having said this, he left the hut...”

1st presenter.
On the night before Christmas, as well as on holy days, girls usually told fortunes. Before the baptism of Rus', fortune telling was part of pagan worship. They tried to eradicate this ritual, but nevertheless it has survived to this day. The word "fortune telling" comes from the name of the ancient goddess of happiness Oas. How many of you know what methods of fortune telling existed?
Guests talk about how they used to tell fortunes in the old days.
2nd presenter.
People's memory remembers many signs. It was believed that all dreams seen during the holiday week would definitely come true.
1st presenter.
To avoid various troubles, it was forbidden to sweep the floor or throw out garbage on Christmas Eve and the first day of Christmas; it was forbidden to sew, otherwise you would be born blind, and weaving bast shoes would be crooked. It was considered a bad omen if a woman entered the house first on January 7, which meant that the women of that house would be sick all year round.
2nd presenter.
It is believed that the Christmas tree is an integral part of the New Year. This is not entirely true. Putting up a Christmas tree is a Christmas custom. Since ancient times, all nations have had a tree as a symbol of peace. The symbol of heaven is the evergreen spruce, which is usually decorated on Christmas night and left throughout the holidays. By the way, the Christmas tree differs from the New Year’s tree in that it was decorated exclusively with white and blue balls.
1st presenter.
And, of course, what would Christmas be without gifts? The custom of giving gifts at Christmas is associated with the Gospel legends about the gifts of the Magi. As you know, gold, frankincense and myrrh. But this does not mean that we should give gold and other expensive gifts. The main thing is that the gift is made from the heart. Most often people give figurines of angels, beautiful cards, and books for Christmas.

All those present are given small gifts.

2nd presenter.
Well, our gatherings are coming to an end. We say goodbye to you, peace to those who are in this house. Until new meetings, until new holidays.

Orthodox script for celebrating Christmas

The world was drowning in sins, in sadness...

Where is the salvation? - that's the question.
And the prophets foretold
That Christ is born.

And the Savior appeared to us -
Knew that the world lies in evil.
Born in humility
King of Heaven on earth.

"Guardian angel"
My dear angel!

You are with me all the time,
You keep me safe during the day
And at night you don't sleep.

When I pray to you -
I'm not afraid of demons.
I will live with you
Always love you.

* * *
Above any cloud,
above the blue sky,
Above the sun and stars
The Lord has exalted His throne;

Wherever we are, He is with us,
He is our God and therefore
He lives as if in a temple,
In a heart devoted to Him.

"Christmas tree"
Not gray-haired Santa Claus,
And the Christ Child
We have a fragrant Christmas tree
Lights the lights
And a radiant smile
Lights up all the days.
"New Year"
The evening is clear, frosty, radiant. The Infant God was born in a manger
Christmas trees covered in sparkles on all sides! From the Holy Ever-Virgin. And so-
The temple shines with lights, and pure Peace descended to earth and appeared
There is a ringing sound all around. New Year!
"Winter. Christmas".
Mom is decorating the Christmas tree. The fluffy snow is swirling
Pies are ripening in the oven. At my window.
Soon the candles will blink Let's have fun together:
Under a star made of foil! Christmas tree! Holiday! Christmas!
Ioann Rutenin

The younger group sings: “Kolyad-kolyad-kolyadnitsa”
“Meeting of Winter” (And Nikitin)

It rained yesterday morning
He knocked on the glass windows,
There is fog above the ground
Got up like clouds.

At noon the rain stopped
And that white fluff,
To the autumn dirt
Snow began to fall.

The night has passed. It's dawn.
There is no cloud anywhere.
The air is light and clean,
And the river froze.

“The Beginning of Winter” (N. Zabolotsky)

Winter has a cold and clear start
Today there was a knock on my door three times,

I went out into the field. Sharp as metal
The winter air swaddled my heart.

But I sighed and, straightening my back,
He easily ran down the hill onto the plain.
Winter comes out surrounded by girls and boys (a choir comes out) in scarves and mittens (minimal costumes for a few girls, the rest behind them in white scarves).
The girls sing the continuation of the first poem “Meeting Winter” by I. Nikitin:

Hello, winter guest,
We ask for mercy
Sing songs of the north
Through meadows and fields.
(While the girls sing verse 2, the guys come out)
We have freedom -
Walk anywhere
Build bridges across rivers
And lay out the carpets! (The guys stand up and sing along, picking up):

We will never get used to it, -
Let your frost crack:
Our Russian blood
It burns in the cold!

Winter: They greet me well in Rus'!
Young and old know me
Ask anyone.

They dress in fur coats - they are not afraid of the frost,
Even though the blizzard caused snowdrifts up to his waist.
(Turns and calls Frost)

Hey, Moroz Ivanovich!
You carry the sled,
And skates, and skis,
It's already winter in Rus'!

(Moroz Ivanovich comes out)

Moroz Ivanovich:
It is not the wind that rages over the forest
Streams did not run from the mountains...
Moroz-Voevoda on patrol
Walks around his possessions.

He looks to see if the snowstorm is good
The forest paths have been taken over,
And are there any cracks, crevices,
And is there any bare ground somewhere?

Are the tops of the pines fluffy?
Is the pattern on oak trees beautiful?
And are the ice floes tightly bound?
In great and small waters?

Blizzards, snow and fog
Always submissive to Frost,
I'll go to the oceans,
I will build palaces from ice.

I'll think about it - the rivers are big
I'll hide you under oppression for a long time,
I will build ice palaces,
Which ones the people will not build.

Where are the fast noisy waters
Recently flowed freely,
Pedestrians passed by today
The convoys with goods passed.

(The frost goes away)
“Frost, frost” (1st younger group sings):

1. Frost, frost
Pinching our cheeks,
Our felt felt is warm,
Shubi mittens.
2. It’s fun at Rizdvo,
Pleschemo in the valley,
The girls clap
Red noses.

3. Christ was born,
We're happy to sleep.
I brought salvation,
Hello!
(A boy comes out with a sled)
* * *

This is my village
This is my home,
Here I am sledding
The mountain is steep.
Here the sled has rolled up,
And I'm on my side - bang!
I'm rolling head over heels
Downhill into a snowdrift.

And the boys' friends
standing above me
They laugh merrily
Over my misfortune.
Whole face and hands
Snow covered me...
I'm in a snowdrift - woe,
And the guys - laughter!... (I. Surikov)

(The boy with the sled leaves. Moroz Ivanovich and the Brown Bear appear. There is noise behind the stage.)

Frost: What's that noise, what's that scream?
(Spreads his arms, looks around. The Postman runs in, followed by Magpie)
Yes, this is the Postman! What news, friends, letters, telegrams?
Postman: Yes! Telegram, telegram, to the Brown Bear from the Polar Bear with
the northernmost pole.
Magpie: Hey, Mikhail Potapovich, a telegram for you, get out of the den. The postman has arrived.
Postman: I rode a helicopter, raced on skis,
There was so much snow that I could barely get there!
Bear (lying in the den, stretching, yawning): - Well, what else? What's that noise?
Magpie: Telegram for you!
Bear: I still won’t get out, I want to sleep. Let him read it loudly, I’ll hear it anyway.
Postman (unfolds a sheet of paper and reads): Telegram...
Soroka: - full stop... Postman: Urgent... Soroka: - full stop...

Postman: To Brown Bear from Polar Bear. Magpie: period...

Postman: At the North Pole... Magpie: ... comma...

Postman: ...the swimming season has opened... Magpie: ...comma...

Postman: ...Come quickly... Magpie: ...comma...
Postman: ...Let's catch sardines and eat some ice... Magpie: ...period...
Postman: ...Polar Bear... Magpie: ...period...
Bear (from the den, reluctantly and slowly): Write, I will answer.
(The postman takes paper and a pencil from his bag and writes)
Bear: Slept... Magpie: ...comma...
Bear: ...sleeping... Magpie: ...comma...
Bear: ...and I’ll sleep... Magpie: ...period...
Bear: ... And Christmas is coming soon!
This will be some fun:
Nuts, honey and raspberry jam!
With raspberry and honey greetings!... Magpie: ... period...
Bear: ...Brown Bear... Magpie: ...period...
(The Bear turns away and leaves, waving his hand. The Postman and Magpie go in the other direction)

“Once in a frosty winter” (children of the 1st junior group sing)
1. One frosty winter along the edge of the forest
The bear walked to his home in a warm fur coat
He walked, walked to his den along a country road

And, walking across the bridge, he stepped on the fox's tail.
2. The fox raised a cry, the dark forest rustled,
And the bear, out of fear, instantly climbed onto a large pine tree.
On a pine tree, a cheerful woodpecker caulked a squirrel's house,
And he said: “You, bear, must watch your step.”
3. From then on, the bear decided that in winter he needed to sleep,
Do not walk on the paths, do not step on tails.
He sleeps serenely in a den in winter under a snowy roof,
And it’s no accident that he’s glad that he was born without a tail.
1 Presenter: All the animals are forest dwellers, hid in their homes: the bear - in
a den, a squirrel goes into a hollow, a badger and a fox warm themselves in holes. Cold! The frost is getting stronger. (turns to the side, calls Winter)
- Winter, what about Winter!? (Winter comes out). Why is Frost getting stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger?
Winter: Why don’t you know? I know! Moroz Ivanovich - he is my brother. And we have another relative - Morozets. He will be my nephew, but Moroz
Ivanovich has a grandson. He's the one being naughty! He loves to show off his strength.
(Moroz Ivanovich and Morozets come out)
Moroz Ivanovich: No way, sister, do you remember us? What are you telling kids and youngsters about?
Winter: But listen! (Moroz Ivanovich steps aside a little)

Once upon a time there lived Santa Claus,
His grandson was growing up.
Frost was good for everyone,
Yes, he loved to brag:
Frost: Grandfather is strong, but I am stronger!
And I bite harder!
I'm a hundred years younger!
I'll freeze the whole world!
Winter: There was Frost one day,
In an open field at a late hour
He sees: he is driving well-fed and drunk,
A fat gentleman in a thick fur coat.
The master's horses are carrying
Our Frost is right there!
Morsetz: He sat down in the sleigh next to the gentleman -
The gentleman's nose turned white.
Pan can't feel his arms and legs,
I was chilled all the way to the bones.
Ice flakes are falling from the eyes...
He's freezing right now... *
The furs didn't save him -
Mittens and doha...
(Frost, arms akimbo, proudly approaches Grandfather)
Moroz Ivanovich: Why are you raising your nose in the air?

The grandson grinned in response:
Morozets: There is a fur coat, but the gentleman is not,
And did not get out of the furs,
How frozen to the core.
You are strong, and I am stronger!
And I bite harder!
I'm a hundred years younger!
I'll freeze the whole world!

Moroz Ivanovich: Okay, granddaughter! Winter: Grandfather grunted:
Moroz Ivanovich: You'll freeze it! In the meantime, freeze the guy.
Morozets: Where? Which one? Moroz Ivanovich: There, in the forest,
Chopping branches in the wind!
Winter: Frost looked into the forest (a man appears with an ax in his hands)
Where the ax rang at that hour,
Sees:
Morozets (casually): Skinny little man, tightened his sash,
Barely covered with a ziplock, he chops branches and firewood.

Moroz Ivanovich: Come on, granddaughter... Winter: ... said Grandfather...
Moroz Ivanovich: Will you overcome it or not?
Morozets: Yes, there are at least ten of them!
Winter: The grandson answered without blinking.
How Frost came to the forest,
The guy got into his zinup,
Gets through a guy -
It stings my sides painfully.
Man: Pulls your nose, pulls your ears,
It really touches your soul!
Winter: And the man, you know, was strong -
He chops just like he chopped.
So he waves his ax,
Dismantles the windbreak.
When he gets tired of it, he sighs,
It will just wipe the sweat off your face,
He sits down a little on a stump:
Man: It was a hot day!
Has it been an hour, two hours?
Time passed quickly.
Thank God - alive and well! *
I'll put wood on the sled,
I'll put the ax in my sash
And I’ll turn home. (The man leaves)

Winter: And Morozets is not himself

I trudged to my home.
Moroz Ivanovich: Why are you hanging your nose?
Winter: Santa Claus met his grandson.
What did the grandson answer to his grandfather?
We have no time to talk. *
Let's just say: from now on,
How a man takes an ax
So Frost - not a word!
Quietly dozing in the snow.
2 Presenter: Our story is not for boredom.
For kids, everything here is science!
Well, give us the answer:
Is it good to be boastful?
All: No!
Winter: And now we’ll tell you a wonderful fairy tale,
how Moroz Ivanovich lowered a ladder into the well
and met two girls:
Sloth-Marfushenka-darling
and Nastenka, a needlewoman and craftswoman.
The carol “Angels in the sky are singing a song” sounds

“Moroz Ivanovich” (based on the fairy tale by V.F. Odoevsky)

Action 1. Phenomenon 1.
1 Presenter: Once upon a time,...
Winter: ...but not so long ago that I don’t remember...
2 Presenter: ... in a distant - distant country ...
Winter: ...what are you talking about? In the neighboring village, about seven versts from here...
1 Presenter: ...once upon a time there was an old man and an old woman...
Winter: ...what an old man he is, since his daughter was only 13 years old...
You probably got it mixed up and are telling the wrong story...
2 Presenter: Exactly that fairy tale. You, Zimushka, don’t interrupt, but listen.
1 Presenter: The old man had a daughter, a kind girl, flexible, obedient,
all in his deceased mother. And just as hard-working. Whatever business she takes on, everything is on fire in her hands, any business is controversial.
Winter: But he only got a second wife!... He wanted a mother for his daughter
take it, but it turned out to be a grumpy and feisty woman. A woman of rare qualities! And she also had her own daughter: lazy, clumsy...
Well, look, look carefully, you will see everything for yourself, the fairy tale begins... (Decoration of a hut. In the middle there is a table and a bench)
2 Presenter: Two sisters lived in the same house. One, a skilled needlewoman,
The other one’s name was Nastenka, and the other’s name was the sloth-bungler, Marfusha...
(Nastenka comes out, carrying a log and a bucket of water)
Nastenka: The cockerel crowed - I got up,
Woke up, washed my face,
She made the bed.
Once I tidied up, I got down to business,
She fetched water from the river, heated the stove,
She kneaded the bread and fed the cockerel.
She caressed the cow, spread straw,
I got enough milk and gave my pussy a drink.
I managed to do everything before my stepmother got there,
Yes, so that she doesn’t scold, and so that she doesn’t get angry.
(Looks out the window. Sings dreamily)
“The angels in the sky are singing a song,
They proclaim to everyone that Christ was born...”
(Stops singing and turns to the audience)
And I forgot when I sang the songs,
So much time has passed without songs!
It is not sung in the stepmother's house,
All my life at the stove, with straw,
This was not how I lived with my mother,
Living with my father became bitter for me.
The song “Oh u poli, poli” plays

Phenomenon 2. Nastenka, Stepmother, Marfusha
Stepmother (flies in and screams. Marfushka is lying on the bench):
Nastya, where are you?

Did you apply water? Did you heat up the stove?
Have you kneaded the bread? Milked the cow?!?
Oh, you sneaky snake! Here I am for you! (Looks around)
I managed to do everything before I had time,
Yes, so that you don’t scold, and so that you don’t get angry...
Nastenka (puts the dishes on the table):
Mother, I did everything as you ordered,
The loaves are already ripened in the oven,
Now the table will be set.
Stepmother (threateningly at Nastenka): Quickly cover the tablecloth,
Yes, a loaf of bread on the table,
(affectionately to Marfushka): Now my daughter will wake up,
My sunshine will smile.
Marfushka (on the bench, stretching, capriciously turning to her mother):
I'm lying, I'm still lying, I can't get up,
I'm lying on one barrel, I'm lying on another barrel,
I put a pillow on it, but I can’t get up.
You would pick me up and sit me by the fire.
Put on my stockings, give me a shirt.
No, I don’t want stockings, put some socks on for me!
(Turns to Nastenka)
Nastya! Is the loaf ready?
This is how I get up - I want a bun,
Pour some milk, serve the loaf, I want to eat. (Sits down at the table, eats, glances sideways at Nastenka)
I've already eaten all the delicious things!
Why are you sitting idle?
Mommy, mommy, I'm so small,
I want an ice slide with a high support.
Let Nastya bring water,
Yes, he will pave the ice slide.
I will ride, be happy and have fun, but I won’t let boys and girls on my slide! (pounds his fist on the table)
(Nastenka is eating a piece of bread at this time. Marfushka runs up to Nastenka and takes the bread)
Give me back my bun! I want to go to the street!
Stepmother (addressing Nastenka):
Why are you standing like a tree stump so that the ice slide will be this day!
Nastenka: Mother, it’s Christmas today, Christmas Eve. It's time to get ready for church.
Stepmother (shouting): Do you still want to argue?
You apply water, you pave the hill,
and to enter the house - you will ask permission!
There is no point in eating bread for nothing!
(Frightened, Nastenka quickly puts a scarf on her head, grabs a bucket and runs out. The table moves to the side, everyone leaves).

Action 2. Phenomenon 1.

The song “The sky is clear and the stars are shining” (in full)

(Yard, well, Nastenka carries water and waters the hill. Tired, she sat down on
wooden deck. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. The song ends).
Nastenka: The girls sing songs, but I need to finish my work. If I don’t do it, my stepmother won’t let me into the house. She is like that.
(Nastenka melts, lowers the bucket into the well and drops it, throwing up her hands)
Nastenka: The rope broke, the bucket fell! And I didn’t finish the slide! What do I need
now will be! My stepmother will kill me!
(Shakes his head and wanders towards the house crying)
Stepmother (runs out to meet her, incredulously):
What, have you already made the slide?
1 Presenter: The Stepmother saw that Nastenka was walking without a bucket - she screamed,
She’s angry, she’s stamping her feet, her eyes are sparkling! What passion!
Stepmother: Where is the bucket? Oh, you heartless one, where are you going? Yes you did me
Will you let the world go, have you decided to squander the goods acquired by someone else’s labor? Here I am for you!
Nastenka: Mother! It's not my fault, the rope was old and frayed,
the rope broke and the bucket fell into the well!
Stepmother: Well, if that’s the case, then pull out the bucket yourself! Get it from the bottom of the well as you wish, but don’t return home without a bucket.
(Nastenka returns to the well. Stepmother goes into the house)
Nastenka: Today is Christmas. And the stepmother is still evil and despicable. Christ
is born, brings salvation to people, but to me, and I...
(Nastenka sobs and covers her face with her hands. Everyone leaves)
The carol “The sky is clear and the stars are shining” (1 verse)

Phenomenon 2 (Two kids run in. They run up to the house)

1st boy: I'm afraid. Nastenka's stepmother is evil and despicable.
2nd boy: And I’m afraid too. But it must be said. Let's call together.
(Called together): Mistress, mistress!
Stepmother (comes out of the hut): What do you need, all sorts of people are hanging around here that aren’t at home?
sitting! What are you yelling about? Well?
1st boy: Your Nastenka wanted to get a bucket from the well, but she herself fell into that well...
2nd boy: and no one saw her again...
Stepmother: Oh, she is a snake! Are you even thinking about drowning? yeah who now
will work, will I really have to do everything myself? Or mine
Do you want your daughter to light the stove with her white hands? Here I am!…
(The stepmother swings at the boys, they run away in fear, the stepmother follows them)
Action 3. Phenomenon 1.

2 Presenter: Nastenka fell into the well. The well is deep - deep. And at the bottom
well I saw a clearing. And in the clearing there is a stove, real, hot, with
a whole mountain of pies. Yes, so delicious!
Pechka (addresses Nastenka): Nastenka, oh Nastenka!
Nastenka (surprised): How do you know my name? And how does the stove talk?
Pechka: Well, Nastenka! Firstly, you and I are not simple, but fabulous. IN
In fairy tales, everyone talks, animals, trees, and, of course, stoves.
Secondly, here in our underground well kingdom, everyone knows you, and everyone knows your name, too. And thirdly, I have to give you these pies. Moroz Ivanovich loves them very much, so you bring him some pies, but serve him well, he will reward you like a king.
Nastenka (pulls out pies): Thank you, stove! (Bows to the stove and moves on)
1 Presenter: Nastenka went further. Nastenka sees an apple tree with golden apples. Yablonka speaks.
Yablonka: Nastenka, oh Nastenka! The apples are ripe for me, my branches are down

Nastenka: Now, now, I’ll collect all the apples.
2 Presenter: Nastenka collected the apples in her apron and walked on.

Phenomenon 2 (Decoration of a snow-emerald, fabulously beautiful house.
Moroz Ivanovich appears and sits down on the bench)
1 Presenter: Nastenka walked for a long time or a short time, and sees Moroz Ivanovich himself sitting on an ice bench, all grey-haired, and eating snowballs. When he shakes his head, frost falls from his hair. Moroz Ivanovich was glad that Nastenka came, and even brought pies.
Nastenka (bows from the waist): Hello, Moroz Ivanovich.
Moroz Ivanovich: Hello, Nastenka. I haven't eaten hot food for a long time. Fine,
that you brought me pies.
Nastenka: Now, now, I’ll just lay everything out.
(Nastenka lays out pies and apples on the table in front of Moroz Ivanovich. She gives Moroz a pie and an apple.)
Nastenka: Here is a pie, and here is a golden apple, poured, eat for your health,
Moroz Ivanovich.
Moroz Ivanovich: Thanks for the treat, girl. Now tell me why
did you come?
Nastenka: I didn’t come here of my own free will, Moroz Ivanovich. I poured
water made an ice slide for Marfushi, and the bucket fell into the well.
The stepmother ordered me to get a bucket, otherwise she wouldn’t let me into the house without a bucket.
I looked and looked into the well, and I fell into it.
And she didn’t find the bucket, and she disappeared.
Moroz Ivanovich: Don’t be sad, Nastenka. I can help your trouble. I’ll give you the bucket and reward you like a king, just serve me for three days. If you manage, you will return home with gifts, if not, because of the big holiday, I will return you home, but without gifts. And I won’t give up the bucket.
Nastenka: Okay, Moroz Ivanovich, I’ll try. Is the service hard?
you, and what should you do?
Moroz Ivanovich: Clean up, do housework, feed, drink and
put to bed. That's all the simple work. But you can do all this!
2 Presenter: Moroz Ivanovich took Nastenka into the house. And the house is all made of ice. And the windows, and the doors, and the floor - everything is icy. And on the walls the snow stars shine like diamonds. There is fluffy snow on the high bed. Beautiful! But how cold!
Nastenka: It’s very beautiful here, Moroz Ivanovich, but how cold it is!
1 Presenter: Moroz Ivanovich only glances at the girl and his mustache
chuckles. Nothing to do! Nastenka began to shake the bed. Hands
turned white from the cold. Nastenka wipes them off with a snowball, blows on them, it feels better for her, and then she gets down to business.
Moroz Ivanovich: Nastenka, I’m kind. Look here!
(Moroz Ivanovich raises the feather bed).
I have entire fields and green meadows hidden under the snowy feather bed, bread for people and feed for livestock! All this will come to light in the spring! Until then, I take care of them and preserve them, sheltering them from Frost.
Nastenka: I didn’t even know it was necessary. Thank you, Moroz Ivanovich for
science.
2 Presenter: Nastenka lived with Moroz Ivanovich for three whole days. Windows
I wiped away the icy ones, took out the excess snow from the snow house so that it wouldn’t interfere with the passage, straightened the snow silk curtains. I arranged the icicles in their places to make it more beautiful. Even the snow cobwebs were swept away from the snow books.
1 Presenter: Moroz Ivanovich treated Nastenka to the most delicious thing in the world
ice cream, Nastenka had never eaten anything like that before. The term assigned to the girl by Moroz Ivanovich has expired. It's time to part ways. Moroz Ivanovich is calling Nastenka. (Moroz and Nastenka go to the middle)
Moroz Ivanovich: Nastenka, I’m sorry to let you go, you hurt my heart
I had to, but there was nothing to do, I promised that I would let him go. I want to thank you for
service. (Takes out Nastenka’s bucket) Here’s my gift for you!
Nastenka: But the bucket is full of silver spots, and on top there are pebbles
some beautiful ones, shining like pieces of ice. I've never seen anything like this in my life.
Moroz Ivanovich: These are diamonds, your dowry for the wedding. Well, now, go!
Nastenka: Thank you Moroz Ivanovich, for your kindness, for your affection. Goodbye no
remember with dashing! (Bows to Frost at the waist and leaves. Frost waves his hand after her and also leaves)
The carol “Ah, winter, winter” sounds

Action 4. Phenomenon 1.

(Nastenka’s house, courtyard, well. Nastenka appears from behind the well)

Cockerel (saw Nastenka and screamed):
Crow, crow!
There are silver dimes in Nastenka’s bucket,
And for kindness and talents
Frost generously sprinkled diamonds! (Stepmother and Marfushenka jump out of the house).
2 Presenter: Stepmother and Marfushka jumped out onto the porch and saw
Nastenka is alive and well, safe and sound!
Cockerel (flapping his wings): Stepmother saw Nastenka, spread her arms,
She stomped, groaned, blinked her eyes,
Marfushka blinked her eyes with envy:
I saw Nastenkina’s gifts.
Marfushka: And I want those! (Addressing Nastenka) Nastya, where did you get it?
diamonds, where did you get the silver nickels? Who rewarded you so generously, and for what?
1 Presenter: So he’s throwing out questions. Nastenka cannot say a word. Finally
The stepmother could not stand it, but she shouted at Marfushka:
Stepmother: Shut up, let this little bastard tell you where she sold off, from work
I was shirking!
Nastenka: I was visiting Moroz Ivanovich, in the well. She served him for three days.
So he rewarded me royally. He is the frosty King! All winds and frosts obey him!
Stepmother (imperatively, addressing Marfushka):
You too should receive such a reward. Why are you worse than Nastya? And red, and clear, and pretty, and... (Stutters, not knowing what else to say) Ahh... why bother thinking about it, climb into the well! (Pushes Marfushka towards the well)
Marfushka (plaintively): Mama, I haven’t eaten yet, but the pies are ripe!
Stepmother: It’s okay, you’ll come back and eat everything, but now it’s time!
(The stepmother throws a bucket into the well and pushes Marfushka into the well)
Boy 1: Well, you have to drown your own daughter in a well!
Boy 2: Listen, brother, let's run away,
We weren't drowned by Pokédova!
(The stepmother swings at them, the boys run away)
Cockerel: Crow, crow, I drowned my daughter for pennies!
(The Stepmother tries to catch the Cockerel. The Cockerel runs away, followed by the Stepmother. Nastenka also leaves)

Phenomenon 2. The song “And the Lord had a message for us” sounds
Presenter: Marfushka fell into the same well, to the same depth. At the bottom
well I saw a clearing. And in the clearing the stove stands and talks!
Pechka (addresses Marfushka): Marfushka, darling, you like to eat, and here you go
The pies are hot and fragrant! The pies were already completely fried and there was no one to take them out!
Marfushka (surprised): No, this is necessary! Not only can he speak, but also
says such nonsense! (Menaciously advances on the Furnace):
Yes, I have never held a shovel in my hands or taken pies out of the oven. (Important) And now I won’t bother with any pies. I have no time, I'm going for the silver! I’ll just take one for myself and try it: “is it tasty or not.” (He grabs one pie and runs away)
Pechka (shaking her head sadly): Well-fed, not well-mannered, she was
a needlewoman, and this one is a sloth.
“The flour is good, but the hands are not good. Good flour, but no good cook.” (The stove leaves)
Presenter: Marfushka went further. He sees an apple tree with gold
apples. Yablonka speaks.
Apple tree: Marfushenka, darling! The apples are ripe for me, my branches are down
pulling. Take them off. Take it to Moroz Ivanovich and eat it yourself.
Marfushka: I just didn’t have enough to mess with you! I'm going for diamonds
Moroz Ivanovich is waiting for me, and I’ll mess with you here!
Presenter: Marfushka tore the apple from the branch and didn’t even look back, like a branch
broke. Apple Tree just gasped. And the leaves began to rustle quietly:
“Life will pass, but goodness will remain, a bitter word will be forgotten, a good deed will be remembered.” That’s not how you live, Marfushenka, oh, that’s not how it is! (Shakes head)
(Apple tree leaves)

Phenomenon 3
(Decoration of a snowy emerald, fabulously beautiful house. Moroz Ivanovich appears and sits on the bench)
1 Presenter: Marfushka walked for a long time or a short time, and sees Moroz Ivanovich himself sitting on an ice bench, all grey-haired, and eating snowballs. When he shakes his head, frost falls from his hair. Moroz Ivanovich sees that Marfushka came and brought nothing, no pies, no apples.
Marfushka (proudly akimbo): Hey, old man, are you going to be Moroz Ivanovich? It’s me, Marfushenka-darling, who came to receive gifts from you. Come on quickly!
Moroz Ivanovich (pretends not to hear): What are you saying, beauty?
Marfushka: Now, now, I’ll tell you! (He comes up and shouts in Frost’s ear)
It’s me, Marfushenka-darling, who came to receive gifts from you. Come on quickly!
Moroz Ivanovich: Got it, got it, Marfushka with a pillow brought me tea
pour! Well, thank you!
Marfushka: Are you an old brat, completely deaf, or what? Come on diamonds
yes silver!
Moroz Ivanovich: How is my health? Did you find the bucket?
And my health is good, but I don’t remember where your bucket is, beautiful girl, I need to look.
It flew from the very top,
It rang loudly, stay with me, stay with me,
Bring me a bed, bring me some water.
Try the icicles, taste the snow. (Frost turns and goes into the house)
2 Presenter: With nothing to do, Marfushka trudged after Moroz Ivanovich into the ice house. It’s cold, my nose is red, my hands are blue.
Marfushka (stammering from the cold): Mo-o-o-roses I-i-va-a-no-vi-i-ch, ho-o-lo-one
you.
Moroz Ivanovich: And you go to work, fluff up the feather bed, bring water, prepare lunch and
you'll warm up! “It is not the needle that sews, but the hands; it is not the earth that feeds, but the cornfield, the earth
plowed, sown!”
1 Presenter: Marfushka lifted the feather bed - her hands were frozen, she threw the feather bed.
Marfushka: And so good. Look how fluffy. (Sits on the bench and blows on his hands, warms them)
2 Presenter: Moroz Ivanovich went to bed, didn’t say anything, and when he woke up and

Speaks:
Moroz Ivanovich: And what, Marfushenka-darling, is frozen, do you want to go home?
Marfushka (jumps up from the bench): Why! Certainly! I'm completely frozen! Soon
I’ll become an icicle myself!
1 Presenter: Moroz Ivanovich took out a bucket and gave it to Marfushka. I was happy
Marfushka that the bucket is full of silver and runs from her grandfather’s hut. She didn't even say thank you. Marfushka runs but can’t feel her feet. The bucket glitters with all the colors of the rainbow, silver stones shimmer in it.
Marfushka (to the audience, gloating):
Nastya, underwater snake,
I worked and worked, but did not receive such stones.
But I didn’t do anything, and I grabbed such wealth!!! (Run further)

Scene 4 (Stepmother's house, courtyard, well. Marfushka appears from behind the well)

Cockerel (saw Marfushka and screamed):
Crow, crow!
There are only icicles in Marfushka’s bucket,
And we have never heard a kind word,
The icicles in the bucket will melt immediately!
(Stepmother jumps out of the house).
2 Presenter: Stepmother jumped out onto the porch,
sees Marfushka with a white face,
alive and well, safe and sound,
but I didn’t even see the reward!
(Marfushka sobs, Stepmother hugs Marfushka and both leave)
Cockerel: All the icicles have flowed, only droplets remain!
Droplets, droplets, science in memory.
“Do not be proud of silver, but be proud of goodness”
“An evil heart languishes, but a good heart cannot be overtaken by death”
1 Presenter: Our fairy tale is not a hint,
A lesson for all the kids!
Presenter 2: Come on, give us the answer:
Is it good to be lazy?
ALL: No!
1 Presenter: And learn as much as you can,
Help, work,
Be obedient, be kind,
Pray on time
Can we do it without difficulty?
ALL: No!
2 Presenter: Will we work? All Yes! This is our answer!

Let us pray to God,
Let's have fun learning
We will be diligent
We will be attentive.

May the Lord always, in everything,
Seeing our zeal,
Gave us the power of the Spirit,
Granted patience.

So that we comprehend the meaning
God's teachings
So that we know the truth
And its meaning.
The carol “What a Prediv” sounds
To save our souls

Let's study
And humbly to the Lord

Let us pray:

Give the Holy Spirit, God,
Strengthen in aspiration,

To grow to the Creator's glory,
It's a consolation for parents.

So that the Church and the Fatherland
We were helpful
So that in a difficult life
Hearts have not cooled down.

Bless us all

You're yours on the road,
Comprehend the wisdom of God
And return to God!
A prayer sounds before the start of the teaching:
“Great Lord, bestow upon us the grace of Thy Holy Spirit, / bestowing meaning and strengthening our spiritual strength, / so that, listening to the teaching taught to us, / we may grow to You, our Creator, for glory, / for parents for consolation, / for the Church and the Fatherland for good."
* * *

Don't let your soul be lazy!

So as not to pound water in a mortar,
The soul must work
And day and night, and day and night!

Don't let her sleep in bed
By the light of the morning star,
Keep the lazy girl in the black body
And don’t take the reins off her!

If you decide to cut her some slack,
Freeing from work,
She's the last shirt
He will rip you off without mercy.
And you grab her by the shoulders,
Teach and torment until dark,
To live with you like a human being
She studied again.
She is a slave and a queen.
She is a worker and a daughter,
The soul must work
And day and night, and day and night.
(N. Zabolotsky)

The carol “Gen, high in the blue sky” sounds
Poem "Christmas"
Needles tremble under the candles,
Like glowing golden dust,
And the glorious Christmas tree is crowned
Blue Star of Bethlehem.
O Star of Jesus! Don't go out!
Come to us a mile away:
The Orthodox heart is like a manger
Waiting for the Birth of the Christ Child.
The blizzard is having fun outside the windows,
And, raising lace wings,
Snowflakes announce to each other,
That Mary gave birth to Christ.
Our Lady sits above the manger
Among the Russian winds. between the roads,
And we know that on this night with us
Light of the Star, Christmas - God is with us!
"Lullaby of the Virgin Mary"
There is blizzard darkness over the earth, Sooner or sooner I will disturb you,
And over the manger there is a lullaby song, My Son, the Son of God,
He speaks the holy words with affection, A difficult nomadic path awaits us,
Mother of God, Virgin Mary. Go to sleep, My Never-Evening Light.

“Under the beautiful star of Bethlehem, Our road through the earth is sorrowful,
Go to sleep, My clear Sun, For Truth - the Eternal God.
I spread fragrant hay for you, For goodness from people we will take a dashing drink,
Go to sleep, My Child is pure. Be patient, My Radiance is quiet.
You will not overcome evil by force,
And with His unquenchable love.”

Dawn is breaking in the east,
Mary bends over the Child...
For Your child, for the Heavenly one,
Rejoice, Unbrided Bride!
