Christmas is all about being with the ones that you love, and sharing moments that will last a lifetime. For preschoolers, it is a little bit different. They do like being with their family, but even more than that, they like waiting for Santa Claus. They love sitting on his lap, setting out cookies, and waking up the next morning with presents all around. That is why most preschool Christmas songs are about Santa. But maybe we are sending the wrong message to our children. Christmas is about Jesus, not Santa.
If you are teaching your students Christmas songs consider combining a performance with announcements about preschool fundraising programs. Po
What Message Do Your Christmas Songs Send?
More kids are familiar with Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer than Away ina Manger. Kids get more excited about Santa than Jesus. Year after year we show our children that Christmas is about presents rather than the birth of Jesus.
Most of the Christmas songs we sing are about Santa and the North Pole, rather than Mary, Joseph and Jesus. Preschool Christmas songs are mostly about being good for Santa, rather than being good for Jesus. They teach you about elves, stockings, chimneys, snow, and candy canes. Shouldn't CHRISTmas songs sing about Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three kings, the manger, and angels? We have become a society that is focused on how much "stuff" we have, rather than how much heart we have. Don't you want your child to grow up and become a Christian that lives to Christian life, and believes in Christian things? We are teaching our childrenthat focusing on things other than Christ is OK. There is nothing wrong with singing songs about Santa or reindeers game. But shouldn't most of the songs that the kids learn be about Jesus? After all, it is his birthday, and not Santa 's.
Preschool Christmas songs are a great way to get kids excited about Christmas. Christmas used to be about giving and loving, and now it is all about receiving and taking. Maybe we need to help with the homeless and food banks, rather than go to the mall and buy a new pair of jeans. Let's focus on what is important during CHRISTMAS: The birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
It is not bad to sing about Santa, candy, and little elves. But this Christmas, let's make sure that Santa is not our focus, but Jesus is. Teach your child preschool Christmas songslike "Away in a Manger", or Holy Night. Isn't that what Jesus would do?
