Thanks to a blogger I read I have the song Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer stuck in my head.
That got me started thinking about the songs we teach our kids in December.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth
Frosty the Snowman
Here Comes Santa Claus
The last one ends with “Let’s give thanks to the Lord above that Santa Claus comes tonight.”
Wait! We’re supposed to thank God for Santa Claus?
What does any of this have to do with the birth of Jesus?
The only children’s song I could come up with that actually relates to Christ’s Mass is Away in a Manger.
Surely, we can do better than that.

I’ve been thinking of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus and All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth. 😊❤️
What i find sad is that children are not hearing or learning the carols written about His birth. Silent Night. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. Hark the Herald Angels. Joy to the World. Etc.
Merry Christmas Linda and Dave.
