My Month's Better Than Your Month

Twelve months. One stage. Endless bragging rights.

(Available in English y español)

In this hilarious and heartwarming skit, each month tries to outshine the others, boasting why their month is the absolute best. But when the friendly competition gets a little too frosty (or heated, depending on July), a moment of clarity reminds everyone that every month is uniquely special—designed by the same Creator with a perfect plan.

Sample Script: My Month’s Better Than Your Month

All actors except January are on stage, chatting quietly. After a few seconds, January enters.

January:
Hi all! . . . (coy) . . . Anyone know what day it is?

February:
Yeh, today’s (name of day).

January:
No, silly, I mean . . does anyone know what’s special about today?

March:
Yeh, today is my day off, I don’t have to go to work, I slept in this morning, it was like heaven!

January:
Oh you sillies, today is . . . my birthday!

April (unimpressed, in monotone):
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to . . yada yada yada. . . (yawns)

January:
January is such a wonderful time to have a birthday. Christmas rush is over, time to settle down and enjoy a birthday!

February:
February is the month of Valentines. What could be a better month to have a birthday than in the month of love?

March:
I don’t wish to be unfair to anyone else, but in my mind, I can’t think of a better month than March to have a birthday . . . spring is on its way.

April:
To be born in April! . . Birds singing . . . Flowers blooming . . . Looking forward to another super birthday!

May:
I just can’t imagine having a birthday in any month other than May . . . Lovely weather, but not too hot.

June (in kind of a singing delivery):
June is such an . . . extraordinary month that I just can’t help . . . singing!
