CHRISTMAS SONGS

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

One 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.

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.

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

Oh, Santa’s on his way.
Oh, Santa’s on his way.

For girls and boys
In his Christmas sleigh.

Oh, Santa’s on his way.

And _____ and _____
In his Christmas sleigh.
