1. Christmas is my Favorite Time of Year

Christmas is my Favorite Time of the Year

Child 1: What do you like best about Christmas?
Child 2: Presents - lots and lots of new toys!
Child 3: Food - turkey and stuffing and lots of junk food.
Child 4: I like going to sit on Santa’s knee at the mall.
Child 5: I like driving around looking at Christmas lights.
Child 6: Christmas is definitely the best time of the year!

Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)
Santa brings us presents with his sleigh and reindeer.
Wouldn’t be much fun, if it were never done.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)

I like the presents, I like the cards.
I like decorations on my house and in my yard.
I like baby Jesus born in the hay.
After all that’s why we have a Christmas day.

Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)
Santa brings us presents with his sleigh and reindeer.
Wouldn’t be much fun, if it were never done.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)

Time to Pack the Sleigh

Elf 1: Get to work! It’s time to load the toys on the sleigh.
Elf 2: Look at all this neat stuff.
Elf 3: They didn’t have this many toys when I was a kid. (should look old)
Elf 4: Kids these days. They’re all spoiled.
Time To Pack the Sleigh

Hey there elves, time to pack the sleigh.
It’s off in the sky before Christmas Day.
We have toys and games and puzzles too,
All kinds of gifts for grownups too!

Ghetto blasters, walk mans, Barbie dolls,
Spaceships, laser guns, that’s not all.
Pinball, hockey games, Lego, Construx,
Video, radio all kinds of stuff.
Rattles for the babies, perfume for your Mom,
Socks for Dad it’s fun, fun, fun!

Dance Break

Dump trucks, fire trucks, racing cars, Power Rangers, toy guitars,
Keyboards, pianos, noisy drums, lots of toys they’re fun, fun, fun!
Rattles for the babies, perfume for your Mom,
Socks for Dad it’s fun fun fun!

4. Santa’s Computer

Santa’s Computer


Santa: (dubiously) You’re sure this is going to work?
Tech 1: This is the newest Mac on the market Santa.
Tech 2: It has 200 Meg of Ram.
Santa: Ram??? You mean there are sheep in it?
Tech 3: That means memory Santa.
Tech 4: We have it hooked up to every light bulb in the entire world.
Tech 5: Just type in a name and the computer will give you a readout on their behaviour for the past 12 months.
Santa: Let’s try it out.......Mark Jones. (Type in the principal’s name ..................... sound effects while computer prints it out. Santa reads the printout.) This one doesn’t look too promising - plays tricks on teachers, plays golf instead of mowing the lawn........... I think this computer will really help us make our Christmas lists.

Santa’s got a new computer helping Santa make his list.
All the boys and girls are on his data base so no one’s missed.

Santa peeks through light bulbs hooked up to his terminal.
He knows who’s good, he knows who’s bad, he knows them one and all.

Santa’s got a new computer, knows each toy in all the world.
Knows which one that you have asked for, every boy and every girl.

If you’re bad he’ll know it, and then he’ll bring you some rocks.
But if you’re good he’ll try to bring you just the gift you want.

Santa’s got a new computer helping Santa make his list.
All the boys and girls are on his data base so no one’s missed.
