Theme – the meaning of Christmas

_________________________________________

Content – A very catchy song that encourages us to remember the meaning of Christmas, ‘the story that would change everything’. The optional harmonies are easy to teach and the modulation into the final chorus gives the song an uplifting finish. Ideal for KS2+ singers.

Lyrics sample

     Don’t forget, Bethlehem

     Don’t forget, once again

     Just remember the meaning of Christmas

     Don’t forget there’s a star

     Shining bright, from afar

     And remember the meaning of Christmas

And the shepherds on the hill

On a Christmas night so still,

As they sat around they heard angels sing.

Mary watched the baby sleep,

Precious memories to keep

And a story that would change everything
