Christmas is right around the corner and I find that I want to sing all day and all night.  There is no better time of year for songs that are geared toward children.  Christmas songs for children is what the season and singing is all about.  This year my children have a few new favorites in addition to the good old ones.

1. Nuttin’ for Christmas:  This song made its first appearance on the radio in 1955.  It is amazing how these songs live on generation after generation.  I am amazed that the kids keep watching a youtube video and sing along.  Even with technology this song lives on with children around the world.

2. Up on the Housetop:  This is one of my favorites that you do not get to hear very often these days.  I am hoping that by singing it with my children again and again it will become one of their favorites as well.  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/Yep2d7H974w” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
3. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer:  Who does not love the story of Rudolph all wrapped up in one fun and fast song?  This is one of the best and most popular Christmas songs for Children in the USA. <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/T5VdsuQ-YfM” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
4. Must be Santa:  I love this one because it is super fun and fast paced.  The kids catch on quickly as well.  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/JeKaV-yhN3c” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
5. Frosty the Snowman:  What is more fun than a snowman who comes to life and leads the children on the adventure of a lifetime?  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/Z1RoN3CnxFw” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
6. The 12 Days of Christmas:  This song is a huge challenge but we always have a great time trying to get through it all.  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/FF1xcKW2e-g” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
7. All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth:  We all remember the Christmas that we lost our two front teeth.  Even better is that there is a song about it all.  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/duMdZkuOGGg” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
8. Santa Clause is Coming to Town: What is better than a song that reminds children how to behave?  I love this one and it is one of my personal favorites!  <iframe width=”420″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/HWv72L4wgCc” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

These are our favorite Christmas songs for children this year.  Which ones are on your children’s top Christmas songs this year?  I hope that they have a blast singing… because… It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
