J ester 2  One was pretty, humble, and hard working; the other was ugly, vain, and lazy.

JOHANN: Don’t cry, my dear. My daughter will do everything you need.

Now, tell me please

What is your name?

My name is Johann

That’s my name

STEP-MOTHER: OLD FOOL! Where’s your daughter?

JESTER2:Since the ugly one was her own daughter, step-mother loved her more than the other one. She made the pretty one do all the work in the house.

PRETTY GIRL: Oh, everyday I have to sit here by the well and spin until my fingers bleed.

PRETTY GIRL: Yes, I will help you. I will shake the tree until all of you fall to the ground.

TREE: Thank you! Good luck!

PRETTY GIRL: What is this place?.  I see holly trees and oaks hanging thick with mistletoe all around. And why are the dogs so excited, running around in circles and barking?.

DOG1: I’ve smelt fume!

DOG: Let’s lead her there!

 Song

Why do you cry/ girl?

PRETTY GIRL: That’s horrible, I am scared, I have to get away soon!.

OLD WOMAN: What are you afraid of, my dear child?.  Come into my house and live with me, and if you do all of the work around the house well, and keep it nice and orderly, things will go well with you.

DOG: We are agreeing!

One thing you must do well is shake my bed thoroughly when you make it so that the feathers will fly about, and then in the world it will snow, for I am Mother Hulda. I make snow fall in the world.

MOTHER HULDA: You are working just as I said. I am greatly satisfied with you. You shake the bed as I told you, and feathers fly about like snowflakes.

PRETTY GIRL: Thank you, Mother Hulda. I am glad to hear that. I also live a good life here. And your food is so delicious!.

PRETTY GIRL: I am homesick, and although all is well and good here, I feel that I can not stay any longer. I must go back to my own home.

MOTHER HULDA: It pleases me that you wish to go home, and, since you have served me faithfully, I will send you there!.

MOTHER HULDA: All this is yours, because you have worked so hard. And, besides that, I give you a new name, and call you Holly Liebchen, and return to you your spindle, the very same that you dropped in my well.

COCK: Cock-a-doodle-doo!. Our golden girl has come home too!.

Song

PRETTY GIRL: Oh, Cock, I am back home!.

PRETTY GIRL: Step-mother, you won’t believe what happened to me. I have to tell you the whole story.

STEP-MOTHER: Let’s go there too, my daughter!

Song

UGLY GIRL: Yes, mother. I will do as you say.

 Song

Mother, mat I go and bathe

Yes, my darling daughter

Hung your clothes on yonder tree,

But don’t go near the water

BREAD: Oh, take me out, take me out, or I will burn!.  I am baked enough already!.

UGLY GIRL: I do not want to get my hands dirty. Stay in the oven. I have to go.

TREE: Oh, shake me, shake me, we apples are all of us ripe!.

UGLY GIRL: That is all very well, but what if one of you falls on my head?.  So stay where you are. I have to go.

UGLY GIRL: On this first day, I have to work very well, just like my sister. I have to do everything the old woman asks me to do. I have to get that gold!.

UGLY GIRL: I am so tired. Today I will not shake Mother Hulda’s bed to make the feathers fly about. I will just do a few things.

DOG1: Mrs., what a lazy girl!

UGLY GIRL: Wow, today I will really not do anything. I will not even get up from bed.

DOG2: What will she get, I wonder?

MOTHER HULDA: I am really upset with that ugly girl, and tired of her laziness, I will tell her that she must do her work properly.

UGLY GIRL: I feel happy today, I think that now I will get the shower of gold.

MOTHER HULDA: This is yours for your service.

UGLY GIRL: No, what have you done to me?. I can not go back looking like this. I worked for you, I don’t deserve this, give me my gold!.

COCK: Cock-a-doodle-doo!. Our dirty girl has come home too!.

UGLY GIRL: Oh, mother, do something, don’t just stand there looking at me!.

STEP-MOTHER: I’m working on that, be patient!.

Pick up your toys. 
Pick up your books. 
Pick up your shoes.

Christmas time is here, 
happiness and cheer, 
fun for all that children 
call their favorite time of year. 

Snowflakes in the air, 
carols everywhere, 
olden times and ancient rhymes 
and love and dreams to share. 

Sleigh bells in the air; 
beauty every where; 
yuletide by the fireside 
and joyful memories there. 

Christmas time is here; 
we'll be drawing near; 
oh that we could always see 
such spirit through the year, 
such spirit through the year.
