New 30-second Christmas monologue: Meeting Blitzen
Have you ever dreamed of being that special person chosen to hear the voice of an animal? Or better yet, to be chosen to be the friend of a very special animal? Say…a special animal who knows someone pretty famous, especially come December 24? Annie gets to experience just that in the play, Christmas Superpowers and Believing in Blitzen. Santa’s reindeer, Blitzen, chooses to befriend her, and he supports her during Christmas crafts, her role in the local pageant, and even through a single-parent household. This is one cool reindeer! So enjoy this free 30-second Christmas monologue, Meeting Blitzen, when Annie tells her friends that she’s seen a talking reindeer for the first time. The monologue is designed for children, but really could apply to anyone of any age who might dream of being seen by someone special—as someone special.

ANNIE
So I’m sitting on the couch and not really paying attention to what I’m watching when…I hear this sound outside the window. It was, it was like this heavy sound, like a horse or something, crunching the snow. Remember how we had that snow at Thanksgiving? So I hear this sound and I look out the window—END OF EXCERPT
