Christmas Carol - Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Be sure to explain to your children who St. Nicholas was before singing this song!  Most don't know that he is the same as Santa Claus.  Veggie Tales has a great movie called Saint Nicholas - A Story of Joyful Giving that explains who the first Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus was in a very entertaining way!

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Jolly old Saint Nicholas,

lean your ear this way!

Don't you tell a single soul

what I'm going to say;

Christmas Eve is coming soon;

now you dear old man,

Whisper what you'll bring to me;

tell me if you can.

Christmas Recital - 2pm December 11

We had over 100 students perform in 3 Christmas recitals on December 11.  They all did a fantastic job!

Here are some pictures from the 2pm recital that featured Little Musicians, pianists, vocalists and violinists.

A Fairy Tale Christmas

Spotlight Musical Theater performed "A Fairy Tale Christmas" on Saturday, December 11.  They did such a great job and looked fantastic in their fairy costumes.

Christmas Carol - Up on the Housetop

This is a really fun song!  Make up motions as you sing or ask a Little Musician student to show you the motions!  Children love to be Santa Claus with a big belly while singing "ho, ho, ho"!

Up on the Housetop

by Benjamin Russell Hanby

Up on the housetop reindeer pause;

Out jumps good old Santa Claus,

Down through the chimney with lots of toys,

All for the little ones' Christmas joys.

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
