Merry Christmas from The Amigurumis

The Amigurumis Christmas song, with the four characters getting ready for the holiday. It is written for that strange time of year when a child hears the same music fifteen days in a row: a simple melody, lyrics you can learn in one listen, and a calm cadence closer to a carol than to fast Christmas pop. Christmas shows up as preparation and gathering rather than presents, which is the part that lands better at this age and the part that stays once the date has passed.

What this piece works on

• •Seasonal vocabulary: decorations, lights, table, family, waiting.
• •The idea of preparing something together, and that the waiting is part of the celebration.
• •A slow melody, useful for winding down on days that tend to be overexciting.
