Don't know how long you have to practice so you may want to make it easy and funny. You can always lip sinc to a song where the words are being sung by the singer. I have seen skits at church that were unique and funny. No singing involved and a group of 4 gals dressed to represent the California raisens from the commercial to the song 'heard it on the Grapevine'. They just strutted around and it was funny.
Heres a more Christmasy version using the poem, Twas the night before Christmas. One reads the poem very slowly, giving their partner a chance to act out the parts.
I'll give you an idea how it goes:
Twas the night before Christmas (speaker pauses while you hold up a large calendar and point enthusiastically to the 24th)
When all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (that narrative was long enough to grab mouse ears and put them on. ITs even funnier if you grab a bowl and wooden spoon and pretend to be stirring something at which point your partner clears their throat and repeats "Not a creature was STIRRING, and that includes you mouse, at which you look startled and put the bowl back down. You have to move fast even if he reads slow. Mouse ears off and now have 3 or 4 stockings, use your familys ones for props or buy some at dollar store.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, (instead, you emphasize no care, slapping one on top your head to lay, drape another over an arm before gripping others in each hand.
You get the idea. And when it comes to describing Santa, you switch with the girl reading and him acting it out. If he wears a red dress shirt and black pants and dons a Santa hat, that will work great enough for the skit. The shirt has to be loose enough and worn hanging out so he can grab a pillow off a table of props and stuff it under his shirt, after you read the part of 'he had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He can try laughing maniacally for fun without the pillow at which point you shake your head no a couple of times, pantomine shaking your belly with your hands and then hand him the pillow at which point you pick up the poem and re-read that part. Theres so much you can do with this. I have heard of several versions.
Another fun one to pantomine to is the 12 days of christmas but there will always be just one not 3 5 or 9 of whatever and you can read it as a poem instead of singing. partridge in a pear tree could be as easy as using a short fake tree, a stepping stool behind it and putting on a beak and climbing the stool to look like you're in the tree and flapping arms to represent the bird. Five golden rings can be yellow construction paper made into paper rings, maybe even with gold glitter on them and attached to a string and held up at that part. For the maids a milking, have a sturdy rubber glove blown up and a pail. The reader holds the rubber glove while the other pretends to milk the fingers like cow teats. Of course there is no milk so the milker can also add in "Darn, the cow has gone dry" if you like these ideas and want to use and get stuck on any part you can't think of a action to go along with, just give me a holler and I will try to help. I have seen many such skits performed and also have a creative imagination when it comes to comedy skits. You may not think such talent acts to stand out compared to those where one sings a carol beautifully or even does a little ballet piece, serious stuff. But as pretty and outstanding as they are, the only things I remember long after are the funny things that made me laugh and so something comedic will definitely make a great impression. I hope to convince one of my daughters to do this with me for the entire family to watch on Christmas. good luck with that.
