My Favorite Non-Denominational Songs Sung at My Kid’s Holiday Concert

December 3, 2021

Here are some of my favorite non-denominational songs sung at my kid’s holiday concert:

  • “There’s a Tree in the House”
  • “Here Comes Carol!”
  • “O Merry Mittens!”
  • “Mike The Magic Snow Shovel”
  • “It’s That Time of Year”
  • “Bells are Ringing”

“There’s a Tree in the House”

When the weather grows cold
At a certain time of year
The living room feels smaller
When the douglas fir appears

There’s a Tree in the House
There’s a Tree in the House
We’ll just leave it at that

There’s a Tree in the House
There’s a Tree in the House
It’s intriguing the cat

Here Comes Carol!

Here comes Carol, Here comes Carol, entering Conference Room A
She’s got a cup of tea, a snowman sweater, and a heckuva lot to say
Her phone is glowing, her PowerPoint showing, she sure is chatty today
So pretend you’re busy and don’t look up when Carol comes your way

Here comes Carol, Here comes Carol, Caroling all the way!

Here comes Carol, Here comes Carol, Caroling all the way!

Oh Merry Mittens

Oh Merry Mittens
Oh Merry Mittens
Cheer surges through my body when I slip you on

Oh Merry Mittens
Oh Merry Mittens
Emboldened with holy jolly power as dark turns to dawn

Wrongs will be set right
Heathens I will smite
with my hands snug & tight

Behold my magic mitten song

Mike The Magic Snow Shovel

Children gather ‘round & you shall hear
the tale of magic shovel we hold dear

A blizzard covered the town with two feet of snow
So a wise man grabbed a shovel and gave it a go

The shovel started glowing & whistled a merry tune
and dug the whole town out by half-past noon

It’s Mike The Magic Snow Shovel!
It’s Mike The Magic Snow Shovel!

Children sang aloud

It’s Mike The Magic Snow Shovel!
It’s Mike The Magic Snow Shovel!

The tool that made us proud

It’s That Time of Year

It’s that time of year
That comes upon a midnight clear
When a beloved guy comes to town
and brings a lot of cheer

His Prius full of awesome gifts, and high fives all around
This guy rules so hard, nothing brings him down

“It’s fun Uncle Mike!
It’s fun Uncle Mike!”

The children shout for all to hear

“It’s fun Uncle Mike!
It’s fun Uncle Mike!”

It’s the best time of year

Bells are Ringing

(instrumental, a lot of bells ringing)
