"Santa Claus' Frolics" by George M. Baker is a heartwarming Christmas play crafted for children and families to perform, capturing the magic of Christmas Eve through the eyes of eager children. The play illustrates a snug room where youngsters await Santa Claus, their stockings displayed expectantly near the fireplace in anticipation of his arrival as they sing, complete with a hidden Christmas tree. Santa Claus makes his grand entrance, clad in his iconic outfit, and engages with the children, treating them to playful antics along with musical performances. He loads the stockings with gifts, each tailored thoughtfully, while spreading wonder and excitement. The story highlights themes of innocence, kindness, and the valued customs of Christmas, and culminates in the unveiling of the tree and the true spirit of the season.
