Christmas Song Ideas 'stars'?

[Guest]

Can anyone suggest some nice music / song that we can use in our Nativity play. We need it for the 'stars' to perform. I've looked through some of the 'bought' productions we have (nothing grabbed me) and we used the obvious 'twinkle twinkle' last year. I think I've ran out of 'starry inspiration' - any help gladly accepted.

Thanks

Hi

Why not use the old favourite Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

 

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

 

Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark;

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Have you heard the one from Wriggly Nativity we used the twinkling stars part of it for last years star dance.

Thanks to both ideas.

 

I'd rather not use twinkle twinkle as parents saw the children perform this last year - just looking for something different.

 

We have the Wriggly Nativity (which we really love ) BUT we're not to keen on the star song (may have to go with it in the end)

 

I'll keep searching!!!

I was going to suggest 'Star Shine Bright on our Christmas Tree' from the Nancy Stewart site :

then I read your message properly! It wouldn't work in a Nativity Play.

how about this sung to the tune of jingle bells:

 

christmas tree,

christmas tree,

presents underneath,

angels sing,

crackers bang,

robins in the tree.

 

Oh...christmas tree,

christmas tree,

santa rides his sleigh,

children love him very much,

oh joyful christmas day!

 

 

 

let me know what you think as its made by me lol xx

twinkle twinkle holy star

shephards saw you from afar

up above a stable bare

the baby Jesus lying there

twinkle twinkle holy star

shining brightle from afar
