CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY


1- Sing a 'typical' carol
LISTEN and complete.

Watch and listen a really typical carol




2- Learn some English vocabulary
Christmas words

4- Check for other Christmas stuff

5- Curiosity
Germans know it's New Year's Eve when they watch a short British cabaret sketch from the 1920s on primetime TV. Strangely, 'Dinner for One or the 90th Birthday' has become a German New Year's tradition, even though it is unknown in Britain, where it was created!


6- Fun Carols


I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

(Short Music Interlude)

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

(Short Music Interlude)

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!




LYRICS
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas.
There's just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents.
Underneath the Christmas tree.
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace.
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day.
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
All I want for Christmas is you.

I won't ask for much this Christmas.
I don't even wish for snow.
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe.
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick.
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click.
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
All I want for Christmas is you.


All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air.
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing.
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door.
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true.
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

LYRICS
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong.

And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun.

Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

War is over over
If you want it
War is over

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying I love you
I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Ba, ba
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
Ba, ba
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ba, ba, ba
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
