A Strike in Santa Land

By Effa E. Preston

A Strike in Santa Land is a classic one-act Christmas play for Children that was published in 1922. The writer of this delightful play, Effa E. Preston, did a brilliant job in creating a drama full of emotions, moral lessons, and fascinating characters for children. Holding an active interest of children is a challenging task; yet, with its charming songs and vibrant costumes, this work keeps them engaged throughout. Excerpt from the play: Santa: Are the reindeer ready and is everything packed? Mrs. Santa: Yes, I think so. Santa: I’ve tried trains and autos and airships but none of them suit me like my faithful old reindeer. I don’t have to steer them up the chimneys. They know just where to go.
