JANUARY Challenge-The Christmas Song

Happy New Year!!!

We hope you've had a great Holiday and are well-rested and enjoyed friends and family.

This year, our theme is Songs of Christmas.

The first song is

The Christmas Song

Be inspired by the song theme, a line, a phrase or a word!

Here are the words:

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows

A turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if a reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to 92

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to 92

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

Here are the design team creations.
