Santas suit which is on the stage and runs off stage. Santa Claus comes on
stage, with his invitation. Santa Paws follows him and sits to rest by the fire
place.
Santa Claus: Oh Santa Paws I am SO excited to be going to Jesus birthday party!
I will need to wear my best suit for the occasion.
Santa Claus looks for his suit.
Santa Claus: Thats funny I thought Id put it right here! Maybe Mrs Claus has
put it in the wash.
He walks off stage, shouting for Mrs Claus. Santa Paws opens her eyes and starts
to sniff around the Grotto, looking for Santa Claus suit too. She stops where the
suit was, takes a deep sniff, and follows the trail the naughty sheep took off
stage. Before she goes completely off stage, she says:
Santa Paws: Hmm . The air smells awfully like mutton. I think the naughty
sheep must have been here!

running in circles, screaming.
Santa Paws: Now, now Reindeer!
The panic escalates.
Santa Paws: QUIEEEEEET!
The reindeer freeze in their panic, in lots of funny poses and facial expressions.
Santa Paws: I think it was the naughty sheep that stole the suit. I can smell her in
the air.
Rudolph: I saw her walking past the stable earlier she told me she was going to
have a cup of tea at the Elves house.
Santa Paws: It must have been her then! Can you all help me get Santas suit
back?
The reindeer begin to shout Vengeance! Santas suit! Santas suit! Comet is
running in circles, screaming again. Santa Paws wastes no time in getting the
sleigh ready, and leads the reindeer one by one into position.
Santa Paws: The naughty sheep lives in Cowdenbeath! Lets go!
The rescue party march off stage shouting, Naughty sheep! Cowdenbeath!
Naughty sheep! Cowdenbeath!

The naughty sheep is on stage, wearing Santas hat and bleating proudly, posing
to all of the audience. Think: Vogue!
Santa Paws walks in and watches Naughty Sheep posing, wearing a very
judgemental face. She clears her throat. Naughty Sheep continues to pose.
Santa Paws clears her throat again. Naughty Sheep turns around and notices
Santa Paws, and slowly takes off the hat with a guilty look.
Santa Paws: What are you doing?
Naughty Sheep: Well I-I-I was I was practising my party entrance to Jesus
birthday party.

Naughty Sheep: Uh-um-um
Santa Paws: He has no other clothes. Do you want to see him party in his
underwear??
Naughty Sheep (she looks queasy at the thought): NO! Oh my goodness that
would be horrific!
Santa Paws: Well can we have his suit back then please?
Naughty Sheep: But what will I wear?
Santa Paws: Superdrug have a great deal on just now on hair dye. Maybe you can
dye your wool?

Naughty Sheep: Oh sorry, yes of course! Here you go.
