In this post, I have listed the 25 evergreen Christmas carols for our little artists. Season of Christmas ushers the beginning of miracles and magic, isn’t it? It stirs up smiles and rejuvenates memories.
The revelations on growing up were many but I purposely believed in none. I don’t wish to strangle my enchanting vision towards Christmas. On the contrary, I am very happily passing it on to my daughter.
Since the beginning of advent, my husband and I have been thinking of how to introduce Christmas traditions to our little Jianna. What better than starting up with some of the evergreen, forever amazing Christmas carols for children! Christmas carols or Christmas songs, I am sure every kid on the block knows at least a few of them and loves dancing to its tunes.
Go through the tips to dress up your kiddo as Santa and also get some wonderful Christmas ideas for babies.
This gorgeous spell of the season lures and mesmerizes everyone – young or old. Music encompasses every hint of magic, twisting and twirling our chords of love, joy and compassion.
I confess I am not a fantastic singer, neither was I, a part from our Church choir but I have always been quite an enthusiast on singing along 😛
