Morning Stories

5 Little Christmas Trees by William Boniface

Morning Songs

5 Little Christmas Trees

5 little Christmas trees
Standing all alone,
Their hearts were very sad
Because they didn't have a home.
Then chop went the ax!
And down fell the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (Kidz Bop)
