“Up on the Housetop”
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause (point up)
Out jumps good old Santa Claus (jump)
Down through the chimney with lots of toys (point down)
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go? (make Santa belly, shrug shoulders)
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go? (make Santa belly, shrug shoulders)
Up on the housetop, click, click, click (snap fingers)
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick (touch ground)

Bells on the Sleigh-song

  (sung to “The Wheels on the Bus”)

 

  The bells on the sleigh go ring, ring, ring

    (pretend to ring bells)

  Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring

  The bells on the sleigh go ring, ring, ring

  All through the sky.

  The toys on the sleigh say “Let’s have fun!”…

    (throw hands into the air)

 

  The reindeer on the sleigh fly way up high…

    (move hands upward in diagonal direction)

 

  The snow on the sleigh falls gently down…

    (flutter fingers and move downward)

    (pretend to drive sleigh, sign “ho, ho, ho in deep voice)

Where is Santa? (sung to the tune of “Frere Jacques”)
Where is Santa? Where is Santa? (hands behind back)
Here I am! Here I am! (arms out in front making a belly shape!)
Merry, Merry Christmas! Merry, Merry, Christmas!
(keep arms up through the rest of the song!)
Ho! Ho! Ho!, Ho! Ho! Ho!
