Wee Sing for Christmas

I bought this CD for my daughter a month or so ago since it was on sale and I wanted to buy it while I remembered. My child listened to it once and even though she knows it is Christmas music and we are far from Christmas, she insists on listening to it every night at bedtime while she is going to sleep. This CD contains a great mix of traditional Christmas carols with newer children's songs for the season. Some (but not all) of the songs are sung by children and most are easy for kids to learn to sing along with (not in a strange vocal range or requiring a whole choir). This is a great holiday CD to have on hand if you have children or will have children present at your holiday parties as it would also make great background music that is soothing for children and not obnoxious for adults. Overall another quality CD from the Wee Sing people.

This is a good collection of many Christmas songs. I'm not particularly fond of the tape, not liking the arrangements and children's voices all that much. But the music book that accompanies the tape is well worth having--useful season after season, with 58 different songs. Secular songs like Here Comes Santa Claus, Up on the housetop, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Deck the Halls, Here We Come A-Caroling, O Christmas Tree, and of course Jingle Bells. More traditional songs, too, like the Twelve Days of Christmas, The First Noel, Joy to the World, We Three Kings, O Come, All Ye faithful, Silent Night. And some children's favorites like The Little Drummer boy, Children, Go Where I send Thee and Go Tell It on the Mountain. There are also some unfamiliar songs, like 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime (a Huron Indian carol which is beautiful) and Three Great Kings (fingerplay) and Must Be Santa. I recommend getting this, for the season, the mood and the kids to have their own Christmas music.
