Sneak-Peek: Kids Christmas Song Lyrics

Here’s a short snippet of the song lyrics included! To conserve space here, we’ve just included the 1st verses of the Christmas lyrics here, while the expanded version of the song lyrics are included within the printable songbook below!

1. Away In A Manger Lyrics

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

2. Deck the Halls Lyrics

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

3. Frosty The Snowman Lyrics

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
That he came to life one day

4. Here Comes Santa Claus Lyrics

Here comes Santa Claus,
here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin’ on the reins
Bells are ringin’, children singin’
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

5. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus Lyrics

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn’t see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
up in my bedroom fast asleep

6. Jingle Bells Lyrics

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

7. Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Lyrics

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way;
Don’t you tell a single soul
What I’m going to say

8. Let it Snow Lyrics

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is so delightful.
And since we’ve no place to go.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

9. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Lyrics

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

10. Santa Claus is Coming to Town Lyrics

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

11. The Twelve Days of Christmas Lyrics

On the _____ day of Christmas my true love sent to me…

  • A partridge in a pear tree.
  • 2 Turtle Doves
  • 3 French hens
  • 4 calling birds
  • 5 golden rings
  • 6 gees a-laying
  • 7 swans a-swimming
  • 8 maids a-milking
  • 9 ladies dancing
  • 10 lords a-leaping
  • 11 pipers piping
  • 12 drummers drumming

12. Up on the House Top Lyrics

Up on the housetop
Reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down thru’ the chimney
With lots of toys,
All for the little ones,
Christmas joys.

How to Assemble Your Songbook

1. Start by downloading the Christmas Songs for Kids Songbook using the link below.

2. Print out your booklet. See the printer helps. I recommend using one piece of cardstock for the cover if you plan to use the booklet year after year.

Printer With Double Sided Option

After you hit print and the dialog box opens up, change your settings to allow double sided printing. If you don’t see it on the main box, click “properties”.

You will want to select to flip over the “short” side, if it asks you which direction. You should be able to print the entire songbook and just pick up the pile, fold the stack of pages in half on the line, and you’ll be just about done! All of the pages should print in order.

Printer without Double Sided Option

If you don’t have a double sided printer, you can set the printer to print as many copies of the book as you need printing just a single page at a time (for example, telling to to print 3 copies of page 8).

Then, load in your already printed side and hit print again for the next page in sequence allowing the printer to print onto the back of your already printed paper.

This may take a little bit of trial and error to figure out how your printer pulls the paper and prints.

Or, simply hit print and dab a bit of a glue stick around the outer edge of every page and press them together. This will give you thicker pages which may hold up a bit longer.

3. After you have printed your booklet, use a long reach stapler to staple your booklet together at the fold. If you don’t have a stapler long enough to reach, staple through all pages from the front of the booklet close to the fold.
