School Holiday Concert

Kiran's school put on a holiday program last week with the theme, "'Twas the night before Christmas". So, everyone came in their jammies. It was incredibly cute and a fun night. Kiran's class sang 2 songs, "I heard a reindeer hoof" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". The whole school also sang a song together at the the end, "We wish you a Merry Christmas." Kiran had been practicing for weeks and did really well, even with all the gestures that accompanied the lyrics. If you haven't heard "I heard a reindeer hoof" you have to take a look at the lyrics. It could be the funniest christmas song I've heard! It's sung to the tune of jingle bells:

I heard a reindeer hoof, then Santa dressed in red,

came crashing through the roof and landed on my bed.

I thought it was a dream, but quickly did I wake,

as soon as I heard Santa scream, "I want a piece of cake!"

CHORUS

Oh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, you are much too fat;

I was sleeping peacefully but now my bed is flat. Oh!

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, how much do you weigh?

I'm glad I'm not a reindeer that has to pull your sleigh!

He got up off the floor and said, "how do you do?"

I said, "My back is sore, my head is black and blue."

"So sorry!" he replied, and then he asked my name.

He offered me a ride, I said, "No, thank you just the same!"

CHORUS

I heard a "ho, ho, ho" the sleight was in the sky,

but it was moving slow and wasn't very high.

It wobbled in the air, I hoped it wouldn't fall;

Said Santa, chewing cookies, "Merry Christmas, one and all!"

CHORUS
