December Nights, December Lights


We are learning our song for our holiday program quickly approaching!! This years song title is December Nights, December Lights and discusses four special holidays that are celebrated all across the land in the month of December.

Hanukka~Lights the Menorah

Christmas~Lights the Christmas Tree and Advent Wreath

Kwanza~Lights the Kinara

La Fiesta de la Posada~Lights Luminarias (Lanterns)


Thank you for continuing to practice the words to our song at home so that we have confidence as we sing it at school.


The words are...


December nights, December lights.

Celebrations all across the land.
December nights, December lights.

Celebrate with others hand in hand.


Celebrate eight nights of Hanukkah

Celebrate the feast of lights.

Christmas colors that inspire us.

Shine by day and through the night.


(Repeat Chorus)


Light the flames of the kinara.

Kwanza holidays begin.

Twinkling light of la Posada.

Is there room left at the inn?


(Repeat Chorus)


The links below have been viewed in the classroom and are informative of the holidays mentioned in our song. We have looked at a few of the symbols of these holidays as well so that we have a greater understanding of the holiday.

 
 

May all of our holidays be celebrated with open hearts and with others hand in hand!!
