Oh WOW. Are we at that time of year already? I LOVE Christmas time, but it is seeming to come around a bit too fast for me this year.
I’m on top of the main things though. Our Primary music! *big grin*
We are learning an item to sing for our Ward Christmas Party next week, and we have been unofficially asked to sing in Sacrament Meeting. Unofficially, because it is yet to be confirmed. We don’t have a Ward Music Chairman at present. We haven’t actually had one called since I did it – perhaps I scared them ;D (jokes!). So my husband has been asked if he can assist with some musical items. He thought it would be great for Primary to sing, but I’m the only one he has told. Hmmm… *raises eyebrow and looks sideways*
Anyways, we’re having some fun learning some gorgeous Christmas songs and doing some fun songs as well. I am asking the children, the teachers and our Primary Pianist if they have any favourites.
I also have a container with topics (such as “rain”, “pioneers”, “Spring”, “Reverence” etc). A child of my choosing takes out a topic and tries to come up with a song to go with that topic. If they can’t think of any then we suggest some and they choose from those suggestions. It’s a good break from the ‘norm’.
Have you been asked to sing any musical items with your Primary for Christmas?
One response to “Christmas is a-Comin’”
Hello – I’ve never visited your site before, but I love it! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been chorister for 3 months now, and love it. Our primary gets to sing twice in December: at our ward party on a Saturday – we’ll sing “Picture a Christmas”, and then the activity girls have been working hard on “Oh Hush Thee My Baby” for Sacrament meeting. So excited!!
