The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (also published as The Worst Kids in the World) is a 1971 children's book by Barbara Robinson.The Herdmans — Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys — are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they smoke cigars, and they live in an old garage where they bang the door up and down trying to squish each other with an evil attack cat and a mother who works double shifts just to escape them. So what happens when these horrors find their way to church in search of refreshments? Why, they take over the Christmas pageant, of course! And somehow, it turns out to be the best Christmas pageant ever.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There are two sequels: The Best School Year Ever and The Best Halloween Ever.

Alpha Bitch: Alice Wendelken and her mother, both of whom tend to annoy their respective peers with how condescending they are. It's almost cathartic to see the Herdmans knock them down a peg or two.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The Herdmans “talk dirty, hit little kids, cuss their teachers...and take the name of the Lord in vain.”

Adults Are Useless: No adult ever does anything about the Herdmans wreaking havoc. A social worker checks up on them every month or so, but even she can't (or won't) do much except come by every so often to make sure they haven't burned their house down or whatever.

The Ace: Alice Wendelken almost always wins the lead roles and Good Citizen of the Month awards though it seems to be implied that a lot of it is from her mother shoving her into those roles.
