Christmas Carols

Today in chorus we were singing holiday songs, including winter songs, Christmas carols, and Hanukka songs. At one point we were singing frosty the snowman. The music only did the main part, but one boy continued on with the "thumpety thump thump" part. It took him a second to realize that he was the only one singing, and he quickly stopped.

Soon later, somebody mentioned that "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" was not in the packet of songs. The chorus teacher had been trying to explain something, and so she ignored this comment and tried again. However, before she could get very far, someone started humming "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Soon the entire chorus was singing. When they were done, she tried to explain it again, and the chorus burst into "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" (The next song on the sheet).
