There are two more big props. The first is the portion of A Charlie Brown Christmas in which Linus recites a bit of the Christmas story. For the second prop, you need to go to a hardware store and buy an 8-inch spike and a craft store to get red yarn. Tie the yarn to the spike and wrap the spike on the bandanna.
