Here’s a Little Candle

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

Here’s a little candle dressed in white,
Wearing a hat of yellow light.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be.

Here’s a little candle straight and tall,
Shining it’s light upon us all.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be!

Here’s a little candle burning bright.
Keeping us safe all through the night.
When the nigh is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be!

I’m a Little Pine Tree

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a little pine tree – as you can see,
All the other pine trees are bigger than me.
Maybe when I grow up – then I’ll be
A great big merry Christmas tree!

Reindeer Pokey

(Tune: “The Hokey Pokey”)

You put your antlers in. You put your antlers out.
You put your antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!

Additional verses:
You put your hooves in…
You put your red nose in…
You put your fluffy tail in…
You put your reindeer body in…

Where is Santa

(Tune: “Where is Thumbkin”)

Where is Santa? Where is Santa?
Here I am! Here I am!
Merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
Ho Ho Ho! Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas Bells

(Tune: The Muffin Man)

Oh, do you hear the Christmas bells,
The Christmas bells, the Christmas bells?
Oh, do you hear the Christmas bells
That ring out loud and clear

Oh, can you see our Christmas tree,
Our Christmas tree, our Christmas tree?
Oh, can you see our Christmas tree
It fills our room with cheer.

Oh, do you smell the gingerbread,
The gingerbread, the gingerbread?
Oh, do you smell the gingerbread
I’m glad Christmas is here.

Santa Claus

(Tune: “Are You Sleeping?“)

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho
Where is Santa?
Where is Santa?
I don’t know.
Do you know?

Santa Claus

(Tune: London Bridge)

See him walking all around,
All around, all around.
See him walking all around,
Jolly Santa Claus

Hear the ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Hear the ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Jolly Santa Claus.

Mooly Cow

This mooly cow switched her tail all day,
And this mooly cow ate the sweat meadow hay,
And this mooly cow in the water did wade,
And this mooly cow chewed her cud in the shade,
And this mooly cow said, “Moo, the sun’s gone down!
It’s time to take the milk into town.”

Robin’s Nest

Here’s a nest for a Robin Redbreast.
{cup hands to form nest}
Here’s a hive for a Busy Bee.
{form fist for beehive}
Here’s a hole for a Jack Rabbit-
{make circle with thumb and forefinger}
And a house for me.
{fingertips together to form roof line}

Choo-choo

This is a choo-choo train
Puffing down the track.
Now it’s going forward,
Now it’s going back.
Now the bell is ringing,
Now the whistle blows,
What a lot of noise it makes
Everywhere it goes.
