CHRISTMAS SONGS

A STAR FOR MY LITTLE TREE
Tune:  “A Partridge in a Pear Tree”

On the first day of Christmas,
My mother gave to me –
A star for my little tree.

On the second day of Christmas,
My mother gave to me –
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.

On the third day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.

On the fourth day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Four candy canes.
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.

On the fifth day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Five Christmas bulbs.
Four candy canes,
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.

IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME
Tune:  “I’m A Little Teapot”

It’s Christmas time,
Oh what joy.
Santa is coming
Bringing lots of toys.

Christmas trees
So green and tall,
Friends and family
Love for all!

SPIDER’S SILVER WEB

Tune:  “Up On The Housetop”

The little spider climbed to the top
Of the Christmas tree, then stopped.
He spun a web around and around
Until it reached, down to the ground.

Oh, oh, oh!  Watch him go.
Oh, oh, oh!  High then low.
He left a web that was silver and bright,
Lighting the tree on Christmas night.
                         Jean Warren
 

THE TEENY TINY SPIDER
Tune:  “Eensy, Weensy Spider”

The teeny tiny spider
Climbed up the Christmas tree.
She looked around
To see what she could see.
She saw the toys
Coming to life
And dancing ‘round the tree
On Christmas night.
                Jean Warren

(This is a fun song to act out with your children.)


SANTA’S ON HIS WAY
Tune:  “The Farmer In The Dell”

Oh, Santa’s on his way.
Oh, Santa’s on his way.
He’s bringing toys
For girls and boys
In his Christmas sleigh.

Oh, Santa’s on his way.
Oh, Santa’s on his way.
He bringing _______
And _____ and _____
In his Christmas sleigh.
            Elizabeth Scofield

(Let your children fill in the blanks with the names of toys Santa might bring.)
 

IN SANTA’S WORKSHOP

In Santa’s workshop far away,
Six little elves wrap toys all day.
The first little elf wraps candy canes.
The second little elf wraps electric trains.
The third little elf wraps every jack-in-the box.
The fourth little elf wraps little doll socks.
The fifth little elf wraps books for girls and boys
The sixth little elf wraps all riding toys.
Then Santa puts them in his sleigh
Ready for you on Christmas day.

DREAMS

Four little children dreamed of Christmas Day,
As fast asleep, the children lay.
The first one dreamed of Christmas Trees,
Trimmed in tinsel gay.
The second one dreamed of Santa Claus,
His reindeer and his sleigh.
The third one dreamed of a fireplace
And stockings in a row.
The fourth one dreamed of presents,
And candles all aglow!
