Beth Bradley's church's Christmas pageant is predictable every year -- the angel choir wears too much lipstick, the shepherds are all in their father's bathrobes, the minister's son is permanently cast in the role of Joseph -- hardly "four-star entertainment." But when seasoned and authoritative pageant director Mrs. Armstrong breaks her leg, it is up to Beth's inexperienced mother Grace to step in. In this hilarious Christmas classic, Grace, struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant and faced with casting the Herdman kids-probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem - and the fun - when the Herdmans collide head -on with the story of Christmas!
