This hilarious skit is a spoof of the historically popular "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Stooge, a principal at Dickens School is visited by three goats that help him to see what is most important in life.
Teachers will enjoy performing this for a Christmas program on the last day before winter break, or a class of students could put this together as part of a school program.
