Summary
“Post Early for Christmas” is a one act play which depicts the humorous incidents that take place inside a village post office during Christmas season. The theme of the play is centered on a parcel booked by a foreigner in the post office.
The news paper reports about the finding of bombs in the parcels booked in some post offices in the nearby villages prompt the people who assemble there to suspect the presence of such a one in the post office. They confirm their suspicion on hearing a tickling sound from one of the parcels. Terrified by the notion of the presence of a bomb, the assistant calls the police.
The police confirms the presence of bomb in the parcel booked by the foreigner and immerses it in a bucket of water to defuse the bomb. The foreigner who returns to the post office at this moment to take back his hat which he left there unknowingly, is astonished to see that the parcel he booked is immersed in water, suspecting it to be a time bomb.
When questioned, the foreigner reveals that the parcel contains no bomb but a precious time piece, a gift meant for his dear one. The foreigner declares that he is going to meet the post master general to file a complaint. On hearing this, the assistant leaves the post office abandoning her job.

MESSAGE
:
A
sense of humour is essential to unload the resulting worries and
stresses.
A human being with a sense of humour, who expresses his/her sparkle by way of jokes,
can see and enjoy the lighter side of life. On the contrary, a person devoid of
such sense of humour always remains tense and unhappy. So in order to
enjoy
life, we should sport a good sense of humour. Life is not a
matter of just
years
of experience but of feelings which add a glow to our mind and a
grace to
our
personality.
