For not really being \u201csingers\u201d\u2014and for most of us not really knowing that much about music\u2014we are a pretty \u201csing-ee\u201d family! We love to sing hymns and worship songs while we\u2019re driving or sitting around the living room. If one of our pianists is here (Kara and Cami), it\u2019s even better! At Christmas time, we really getting into the singing spirit! We love to memorize a complete carol (all the verse) and sing it together; we love to drive around looking at lights and have someone lead out when a certain decoration or sight reminds him of a carol; we love to \u201csing through the Christmas story.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Several years ago as we were sitting around singing carols, we challenged the kids to sing a song about a certain part of the nativity story (one part at a time). Before we knew it, we had compiled an entire \u201ccantata\u201d (roflol!) singing through the Christmas story. Cami quickly found the words to all of the carols and made a colorful song sheet on the computer for everybody\u2014and we have since enjoyed \u201csinging through the Christmas story\u201d quite often.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below are the songs that we sing in the order that we sing them, along with links to the words to each one. Obviously, there are others that would also fit, but these are the ones we discovered and have enjoyed singing. Happy caroling!<\/p>\n
