There is never enough time to sing Christmas songs, so dive in!
"Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus," p. 36 is a great song to begin with. The original name was "Christmas in Zarahemla." (see p. 36, footnotes)
This song begins in the minor key and tells the story of Samuel prophesy of Christ's birth. The children may want to help tell the story.
Sing the first verse a few times with the children then sing or read the words to the second verse. Sing the second verse a few times.
The chorus is joyous and the major key enhances the message of joy. Sing it for the children then have them sing it with you. Sing the entire song a few times.
You can also point out the rhyming words throughout the song.
