Songs:
Five Little Christmas Trees
Five little Christmas Trees standing all alone.
Their hearts were very sad ‘cause they hadn't found a home.
Then chop went the ax and down fell a tree
And off it went with a happy family!
(continue from 4-1 Christmas Trees)
No little Christmas Trees standing all alone.
Their hearts were very happy ‘cause they all found a home!!!
Their hearts were very sad ‘cause they hadn't found a home.
Then chop went the ax and down fell a tree
And off it went with a happy family!

Here Is The Chimney
Here is the chimney (Make fist, enclose thumb)
Here is the top. (Palm of hand on top of fist)
Open the lid. (Remove hand quickly)
And out Santa will pop. (Pop up thumb)

Way up High on the Christmas Tree
Way up high on the Christmas tree (Point up)
Two little candy canes winked at me (wink),
So I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake tree)
And down dropped those candy canes (squat down)
Mmm, Mmm, Good!! (Rub Tummy)
