December Song
(to the tune of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”)
AKA “The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You”)
Oh, the month of December
Is filled with holidays!
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and
Christmas
Are marked in special ways!
Celebrating with our loved ones,
No matter how it’s done...
Sharing gifts or lighting candles,
We all have lots of fun!

Winter Song
(to the tune of “Itsy Bitsy Spider”)
In winter, I go sledding
And down the hill I slide!
When it gets too cold to play,
I have to come inside.
I sit under a blanket
By the fireplace,
Sipping on hot cocoa
As I warm my hands and face.
