恩恩出生那年的春聯是在豐原醫院拿的。因為還蠻好看的，也就一直貼著沒撕掉。
恩：為什麼家裡有一張猴子的圖畫？
我：因為妳屬猴啊！
恩：哼，才不是！我是企鵝！
我：嗯…就是那隻猴子把妳帶來我們家的，妳不知道嗎？
恩：啊～可是我是企鵝（全部要加很重的鼻音）
我：對啊，就是那隻猴子把妳這隻小企鵝帶來我們家的啊！
恩：怎麼可能？那是假的，是用畫的！
我：他把妳送來之後，就坐著雲飛走了。我們為了感謝他，才把他畫下來放在家裡啊！
她現在滿四足歲了，還是很相信自己是猴子把她從企鵝島帶來給我們的哦！
不要說我在騙小孩，我是在豐富她的想像世界！哈哈！
這首歌除了學習1-10的數字之外
還有某個數字+1之後變成多少的練習，例如–
One little fish swimming in the sea.
Along came another one, and then there were two.
除此之外，可以訓練孩子的專注力(留意自己數到多少了)
每3組一個大段落
第一大段是第1~4隻魚
(1+1=2；2+1=3；3+1=4)
第二大段是4~7隻魚，第三大段是7~10隻魚
然後每個大段後面加一組–
Swimming swimming swimming in the sea.
That big old shark will never catch me.
第三大段之後，這一組唱三次
接著最後是–
He’ll never, Never, Never, Never,
That big old shark will never catch me!
這樣，是不是就記起來怎麼唱了呢？

前面已經介紹了兩首有關馴鹿的歌，今天看到這首，忍不住又收錄到Blog了！
這首歌分成三段， 每一段前兩句(只看偶數句)押一個韻，後兩句押一個韻， 你注意到了嗎？
這首歌的押韻：

歌詞：
Sing a song of Christmas
The reindeer standing by
They’re getting so excited
It’s nearly time to fly
Santa’s in his workshop
Packing up the toys
He’s worked so hard to make the gifts
For all the girls and boys
Sing a song of Reindeer
They’re flying oh so high
They’re busy guiding
Santa Swiftly through the sky
Delivering the presents
To open on Christmas Day
The reindeer move across the sky
With Santa in his sleigh!
Sing a song of Christmas
The reindeer guide the way
As Santa brings the presents
In time for Christmas day
He’s going down the chimney
With parcels fat and thin
Finding carrots for his reindeer
And cookies for him
Sing a song of Reindeer
They’re flying oh so high
They’re busy guiding Santa
Swiftly through the sky
Delivering the presents
To open on Christmas Day
The reindeer move across the sky
With Santa in his sleigh!

花了大約一星期，初期篩選歌曲時就聽了五、六個小時的聖誕歌
一開始預計選12首歌，後來忍不住加了一些，變成16首
雖然每一首歌只是修改一下網址、剪貼歌詞(有些找不到的歌詞就用聽寫的)、找一下可能符合英文初學者程度的單字，有些寫幾句前言，就這樣，竟又花了十幾個小時。對於應景歌曲來說，實在是太趕了！(還好趕上了……)
歌曲列表：
這些歌大概包含幾個元素或主題：

「聖誕節的12日」這首歌起源於18世紀的英格蘭，是英國兒童演唱的一種記憶的遊戲，在遊戲中玩家必須記住所有先前的歌詞，並在末尾添加新的歌詞，那些無法記住的人以親吻或給糖果的形式來結束遊戲。
這首歌不只是訓練記憶力，也包含了序數(第幾)和倒數的練習。
聖誕節的12天是從12月25日（耶穌基督的誕生）慶祝到主顯節（在1月5日慶祝耶穌榮耀顯現的日子），有些人會在12天的每一天交換禮物，而不僅僅是在聖誕節那天，「12 Days of Christmas」這首歌就根據贈禮的習俗，搭配聖經上的典故，寫了1 2樣禮物。
—
單字&這12樣禮物代表的意義如下：
1. a partridge in a pear tree (一隻站在梨樹上的鷓鴣鳥) =即神之子，耶穌基督。
2. Turtle Doves (兩隻鳩)=舊約及新約聖經。
3. French Hens (三隻法國母雞)=信、望、愛三教義。
4. Calling Birds (四隻鳴唱的鳥兒)=新約聖經的前四卷，或者這四福音的四位作者。

6. Geese A-laying (六隻生蛋的鵝)=主創造世界的六天
7. Swans A-swimming (七隻游水的天鵝)=七種聖事，即洗禮、堅信、聖禮、告解、塗油、敘階和婚姻。
8. Maids A-milking (八位擠奶的佣婦)=八福，即穌登山訓眾所說的八種幸福。
9. Ladies Dancing (九位跳舞的女士)=九種聖果，即仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制。
10. Lords A-leaping (十個跳躍的男人)=十誡。
11. Pipers Piping (十一個吹風笛的風笛手)=十一個忠心的使徒。

相較於另一首”DECK THE HALLS“，這首歌是改編過，更適合初學者學習的歌。
它一樣有押韻，但是不同於上面那首每兩句一個韻 (Fa la la la la, la la la la 不算)
這首歌是每四句為一組
請把同一組的詞放在一起，多唸幾次培養語感吧！
歌詞：
Decorate the Christmas tree.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Candy canes for you and me.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hang the stockings, 1, 2, 3.
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Wrap the presents happily.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
On a sleigh ride, go, go, go.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Make a snowball, throw, throw, throw.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Kiss beneath the mistletoe.
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Santa’s laughing, ‘Ho, ho, ho!’
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Christmas Eve comes soon, hooray!
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Santa Claus is on the way.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Lots of presents in his sleigh.
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
I can’t wait ’til Christmas Day.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fa la la la la, la la la LAAAAAAAAA!

這首歌是經典的、傳統的聖誕歌曲
因此用詞也比較屬於文雅的詩歌用詞
對孩子們來說，不但單字多，而且不是很常見的生活詞彙
不過這首歌的學習重點是每一段都押了不同的韻
同一組的詞可以放在一起多唸幾次看看，培養語感
另一個改寫過的簡單版本：DECORATE THE CHRISTMAS TREE
—
歌詞：
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient yuletide carol
Fa la la la la la la la la
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

這首歌是仿照螞蟻進行曲改編的
這類歌曲的主要特色是最小的那個角色做了一個動作
而那個動作的最後一個字會和one、two、three、four…押韻。
以這首歌為例：
one-eats a sticky bun
two-stops to tie his shoe
three-climb a Christmas tree
four- stops to shut the door
five- Santa Claus will soon arrive
歌詞：
The elves go marching one by one, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching one by one, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching one by one.
The little one eats a sticky bun,
And they all go marching with all the gifts.
The elves go marching two by two, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching two by two, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching two by two.
The little one stops to tie his shoe,
And they all go marching with all the gifts.
The elves go marching three by three, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching three by three, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching three by three.
The little one climbs a Christmas tree,
And they all go marching with all the gifts.
The elves go marching four by four, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching four by four, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching four by four.
The little one stops to shut the door,
And they all go marching with all the gifts.
The elves go marching five by five, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching five by five, ho-ho, ho-ho.
The elves go marching five by five.
Santa Claus will soon arrive,
So they all go marching with all the gifts.
Happy Holidays!

這首歌不是傳統的耶誕歌曲，是Little Baby Bum頻道的創作歌曲。
小朋友對聖誕節最大的期待就是向聖誕老公公許願，希望得到什麼禮物吧！
來學學許願、夢想成真的英文怎麼說吧！
歌詞：
Make a wish
Dreams can come true
Just believe enough

A fairy’s kiss
On your cheek at night
Happens when you wish
Upon the start light!
So believe in magic
Dreams can come true
Just make a wish
Is what you do!
A fairy’s kiss
On your cheek at night
Happens when we wish
Upon the start light!
So make a wish tonight
Dreams can come true
Just believe enough
Is all you do!
