See how I use my singing time schedule HERE! Then download an editable and printable version of the below information HERE.
We’ll be able to sing (keyword being “sing” not “learn”) every single Christmas song in the Children’s Songbook this month! Perfect!! You can check out all of my Christmas singing time lesson plan ideas HERE.
Note that this month I will be utilizing the handbells for 3 weeks and also when we sing in sacrament meeting. If you want to join in on the handbell fun (and I would HIGHLY recommend it!), check out my post HERE for everything you need to know about handbells!

A Christmas song that I love – and no one seems to remember about – is called "First Christmas in America" from the Friend found on the church website here: http://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/music/friend-music/2012-10-094-first-christmas-in-america-eng.pdf?download=true
This year Primary the songs our Primary sang for the Christmas programs were:
the first verse of "Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus" Children's Songbook pg. 36, the first 2 verses of "First Christmas in America" http://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/music/friend-music/2012-10-094-first-christmas-in-america-eng.pdf?download=true
and all three verses of "Away in a Manger" Children's Songbook pg. 42. Looking back on it, the only thing I would change would be that I would not sing the "Asleep" chorus all three times, I would only singing after the 3rd verse.
