be omitted,and the WISE MEN could walk with canes,crutches,or walkers.  \nA large doll can be used for the baby if necessary.  \nA small baby could lie in a plastic carrier at the manger.The “miracle”could be made more effective by the useof lights,but if these are not available,the feeling of awecan be achieved by the expressions on the faces of the oldpeople and by the softening of the music.The play shouldend with a crescendo of music and with everybody happy.To achieve the needed effect,the last three bars of the musicmight have to be raised an octave.  \n# Christmas Is for
