Five Little Candles

Five little candles twinkling on the tree.
The first one said, “What do you see?”
The second one said, “I see Santa big and jolly.”
The third one said, “I see Christmas wreathes and holly.”
The fourth one said, “What do you hear?”
The fifth one said, “Children singing loud and clear,”
“A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

Turkey Poem

A turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble, wobble, wobble.
He only knows one word,
Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We’d have Thanksgiving every day.

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the clouds.
Tickle your toes.
Turn around and tickle your nose.
Reach down low.
Story time’s over–
Wave good-bye!

Gingerbread Man

Stir a bowl of gingerbread
(pretend to stir a bowl)
Smooth and spicy brown
Roll it with a rolling pin
Up and up and down  
(pretend to roll out dough)
With a cookie cutter,
(pretend to cut out cookies)
make some little men.
Put them in the oven
(pretend to open oven door and place cookies in oven)
till half past ten!

Christmas

That’s how we spell Christmas
It’s the best time of the year!

C -H- R – I -S – T –
M – A – S  is here!

With all our friends so near!

Here’s Our Little Pine Tree

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

Here’s our little pine tree,
Tall and straight
Let’s find the things
So we can decorate.
First we want to put
A star on top!
Then we must be careful
The balls don’t drop.

Hang on all the tinsel
Shiny and bright
Put on the canes
And hook them just right.
Finally put some presents
For you and for me.
And we’ll be ready
With our Christmas tree.
