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.
I'm surprised at the reviews that say the kids won't enjoy this album because of the adult-sung songs. My mom bought this for me when I was very young - I can't remember not having it - and now I'm 30 and it's still my favorite Christmas album. It has suck a variety of songs, and some of those songs I haven't heard on any other albums (not just the ones written by Beale and Nipp, but traditional songs that aren't popular ones). The songs sung by adults are still great for kids and aren't at all like what you hear on the radio - much simpler and more attractive to kids. These ladies know what they are doing and we've loved every Wee Sing album we've purchased, with Wee Sing for Christmas and Wee Sing America our favorites. (Wee Sing America was also my favorite as a kid and has adult-sung songs, so I don't know what these other reviewers are talking about.)
After purchasing the Wee Sing Halloween and LOVING it...I was disappointed when I played the Christmas CD. My daughter was as well...there aren't very many songs where the children are singing. If my daughter wanted to hear adults sing Christmas songs, I could just turn on the radio. I highly recommend Halloween but I think that they could do better for Christmas.
Our little daughter is 4 and I got this Wee Sing a couple of weeks before Christmas for her. We are STILL playing it on every single car ride mid-January and I don't foresee her allowing me to put it away any time soon! She has her favorites and her VERY favorites and pretty close to which order they appear in! She sings along at the top of her lungs. The CD gives her confidence. Mom loves it because it's wholesome and a mix of Christian and popular secular Christmas jingles and songs.Mom personally prefers Wee Sing for Halloween a tad better as more of the songs were sung by children. Wee Sing for Christmas has many more adult-sung songs, but still good as they are geared for children. Over all: win/win!!!
I'm now 26 years old and remember having the cassette tapes of Wee Sing Christmas and other Wee Sings as a kid. I remember really liking the Wee Sing Christmas so I ordered it this year. I should have read all the reviews where someone else mentions that they don't sing all the verses on some of the songs. On the first 5 or so songs I played, they didn't sing all the verses in any of them. This CD will sit on the shelf and never get played- a waste of $10. Who wants to listen to incomplete songs? I certainly didn't remember that on the old cassette tape they gutted the songs, so I don't know if this is new to the CD or not. If I could rate this a 0 stars I would for the simple fact that they sing one or two verses out of 3, 4, or 5 or more verses. Again, a waste of your money.
I bought this after having bought the Halloween wee sing and my kids loved it. This one is disappointing. A lot of the songs are sung by adults unlike the Halloween music which is fun and sung by children. Some of these Christmas songs are sung by children but overall I wasn't very impressed with this cd. Most of the songs are slow not fun songs. Not that I'm opposed to the songs but for a children's cd it's not very fun. My kids always wanted to listen to the Halloween cd on but they don't really care about listening to this one.
I am a music teacher and have used Wee Sing For Christmas for many years. My original copy came with a cassette which I recently lost. I was delighted to find that this book was still in print and now came with a C.D. which is much more user friendly.This book is a mix of traditional carols from a variety of countries, modern carols which are fun and lots of rhymes, finger plays and action songs. Accompaniments are a mixture of children and adult voices. This has been a great resource for many years and will continue to be one. Many thanks
This is my second book. I gave my old, old book to the teachers on my staff. Thought I had no use for it and many other things, but ended up teaching Sunday school after retirement and had to buy this new one. I like the fact that chords are included along with notes and words so that the book can be used with an auto harp. My only complaint is the lessened quality. The book is a bit smaller and just not as nice as the old one.
