This collection of my Christmas songs covers all the age ranges in the primary school. A number of the songs such as “Playing for Christmas Day” and “When it’s Christmas” are suitable for the very youngest infant and nursery children and would make ideal concert items. “What’s He Doing for Goodness Sake?” is a fun Santa song with possibilities for added percussion. There is also a traditional nativity containing six songs. “Investigate Christmas” asks questions about how we celebrate Christmas. “What did you get for Christmas?” Covers some of the possibilities for gifts at Christmas time.
