SONG: WELCOME CHRISTMAS (Year 3)

Lyrics by Dr. Seuss Music by Albert Hague

Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!

Welcome Christmas, come this way!
Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day!

Welcome, welcome! Fah who rahmus!

Welcome, welcome! Dah who dahmus!
Christmas Day is in our grasp!
So long as we have hands to clasp!

Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!

Welcome Christmas! Bring your cheer!
Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome all who's far and near!

Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!

Welcome Christmas, come this way!
Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day!

Welcome, Christmas! Fah who rahmus!

Welcome, Christmas! Dah who dahmus!
Christmas Day will always be!
Just as long as we have we!

Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!

Welcome Christmas! Bring your cheer!
Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome all who's far and near!

Celia (Y6): Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, who lived
just north of Who-will, did not! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

Sarah (Y6): It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes
were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two
sizes too small.

Dd (Y6): But whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes, he stood there on Christmas Eve,
hating the Whos, staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinch frown at the warm lighted
windows below in their town. For he knew every Who down in Who- ville beneath was busy
now hanging a mistletoe wreath.

Grinch comes up the stage while speaker 3 is speaking.

Grinch : “And they’re hanging their stockings!” he snarled with a sneer. “Tomorrow is
Christmas! It’s practically here!” Then he growled with his Grinchy fingers nervously
drumming, “I must find some way to stop Christmas from coming!”

Song: I hate Christmas (Solo) Grinch

I can't think of anything that's dumber
To a grouch, Christmas is a disaster!
Beaming faces everywhere, happiness is in the air
I'm telling you, it isn't fair!
I hate Christmas!

People loaded with good will, giving presents, what a thrill

That slushy nonsense makes me ill
I hate Christmas!

I'd rather have a holiday like normal grouches do

Instead of getting presents, they take presents back from you
Heh heh

Here comes Santa, girls and boys

So, who needs that big red noise!
I'll tell him where to put his toys
I hate Christmas!
And if you want the truth, I ain't so crazy about Thanksgiving or Labor Day either!
Christmas carols to be sung, decorations to be hung
Oh, yeah? Well, I stick out my tongue!
I hate Christmas!

Christmas bells play loud and strong

Hurts my ears, all that ding dong
Besides it goes on much too long
I hate Christmas!

I'd rather have a holiday with a lot less joy and flash
With a lot less cheerful smiling, and a lot more dirty trash, yeah!
Christmas Day is almost here
When it's over, then I cheer
I'm glad it's only once a year
I hate Christmas!

Kenza (Y4): For, tomorrow, he knew...All the Who girls and boys would wake bright and early.
They'd rush for their toys! And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! That's one thing he hated! The
NOISE!

SONG: Together at Christmas Time (Year 4)

Standing together as Christmas is near,

The waiting is finally over.
Now that the time for the snowflakes is here,
We can all sing to each other. (twice)

Now that Christmas is finally here.

Time to reflect on the year.
Finding hope at this Christmas time.
Stand together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time. (Christmas time, Christmas time)

Presents are wrapped, Christmas cards on the wall,

Music and dancing around us.
Twinkling lights as the snow starts to fall,
 Tinsel and trees and the Santas!

Now that Christmas is finally here.

Time to reflect on the year.
Finding hope at this Christmas time.
Stand together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time. (Christmas time, Christmas time)

Hear the sounds of Christmas chimes,

Now we know it’s Christmas time.
Sing together at Christmas time,
Sing together at Christmas time.
Sing together at Christmas time,
Sing together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time.

So ring the bells and sing together at Christmas time.

(Solo) Standing together as Christmas is near. We can all sing to each other.

Year 4 Red: Then the Grinch got an idea! An awful idea!

Grinch:Mwa-ha-ha-!

Year 4 Blue: He got a wonderful, awful idea!

Grinch: “I know just what to do!” The Grinch laughed in his throat, as he made a quick Santy
Claus hat and a coat. And he chuckled and clucked, “What a great Grinchy trick! With this coat
and this hat, I’ll look just like Saint Nick!”

SONG: YOU’RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH (Year 1)

Lyrics by Dr. Seuss Music by Albert Hague

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel.

You’re cuddly as a cactus. You’re charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch.
 You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel.

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart’s an empty hole.

Your brain is full of spiders. You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole.

Meriem (Y5): The Grinch loaded some bags and some old empty sacks on a ramshackle sleigh
and he hitched up old Max. Then he said -

Ginch: “Giddyap!”

Zeyneb (Y5): - and the sleigh started down toward the homes where the Whos lay a-snooze
in their town.

SONG: Must Be Santa(Year 2)

Who's got a beard that's long and white?

Santa's got a beard that's long and white.
Who comes around on a special night?
Santa comes around on a special night.
Special night, beard that's white.
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who wears boots and a suit of red?

Santa wears boots and a suit of red.
Who wears a long cap on his head?
Santa wears a long cap on his head.
Cap on head, suit that's red,
Special night, beard that's white.
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who's got a big red cherry nose?

Santa's got a big red cherry nose.
Who laughs this way: ‘HO, HO, HO’?
Santa laughs this way, ‘HO, HO, HO’,
‘HO HO HO’, cherry nose,
 Cap on head, suit that's red,
special night, beard that's white.
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who very soon will come our way?

Santa very soon will come our way.
Eight little reindeer pull his sleigh,
Santa’s little reindeer pull his sleigh.
Reindeer sleigh, come our way,
‘HO HO HO’, cherry nose,
Cap on head, suit that's red,
special night, beard that's white.
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,

Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
Reindeer sleigh, come our way,
‘HO HO HO’, cherry nose,
cap on head, suit that’s red,
special night, beard that’s white.
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Mohammed (Y5): The Grinch slid down a chimney, a rather tight pinch. But, if Santa could do
it, then so could the Grinch. He got stuck only once, for a moment or two. He slithered and slunk
with a smile most unpleasant, around the whole room and he took every present.

Grinch: Robots! Bicycles! Roller skates! Drums! Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And
Plums!

Fares (Y5): Next he slunk to the icebox. He took the Who’s feast! He took the Who-pudding!
He took the roast beast! He stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee.

Grinch: “And now,” grinned the Grinch, “I will stuff up the tree!”
Maya J (Y5): As the Grinch took the tree, as he started to shove, he heard a small sound like the
coo of a dove. He turned around fast, and he saw a small who, Little Cindy Lou Who. He patted
her head, got her a drink, and sent her to bed.

(Jade) Cindy Lou Who appear while speaker 9 is speaking.

Iskander (Y5): Then the Grinch did the same thing to the other Who’s houses, leaving nothing
but crumbs much too small for the other Who’s mouses! It was a quarter past dawn when the
Grinch packed up his sled. Packed it up with their presents!

Grinch: The ribbons! The wrappings! The tags and the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings!

Mehdi (Y5): Three thousand feet up the side of Mount Crumpit, he rode with his load to the
tiptop to dump it!

ALL: (Gasp!)

Grinch: “Pooh-Pooh to the Whos!” humming. “They’re finding out now that no Christmas is
coming and the Whos down in Who-ville will all cry BOO- HOO!”

Song: Where are you Christmas (Year 5)

Where are you Christmas

Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas

Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go
 Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

Oh, I feel you Christmas

I know I've found you
You never fade away, oh
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas

Fill your heart with love

(CUE SONG: Fah Who Doraze)

Grinch: “That’s a noise,” grinned the Grinch, “that I simply MUST hear!” So he paused and the
Grinch put his hand to his ear. And he did hear a sound rising over the snow. It started in low.
Then it started to grow...

Aziz BJ (Y5) (during music): Every Who down in Who- ville, the tall and the small, was singing
without any presents at all! He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow
or other, it came just the same!

Omar (Y3): And what happened then...? Well.. in Who-ville they say that the Grinch’s small
heart grew three sizes that day! And the minute his heart didn’t feel quite so tight, he whizzed
with his load through the bright morning light and he brought back the toys! And the food for
the feast! And he... HE HIMSELF...! The Grinch carved the roast beast!

SONG: WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS?

(Grinch Solo)

Where are you Christmas? I think I found you. It’s time I let you stay. You’ll hear us singing.
Bells will be ringing. Now and forever, Christmas Day!

Year 6: Happy Holidays to all!!!

 SONG: Love Shone Down
I had a dream that I was standing on a hillside
And all the lights of town
were shining far below
When up in the air beautiful voices
Sing a new song, let everyone know,

Oh and love shone down

over the hills and over the valleys,
Oh and love shone down over the world

Somebody spoke to me
I knew it was an angel
He said there’s something
that I think you ought to know.
Then he just smiled, said don’t be afraid now.
Sing a new song, let everyone know

And then they show me all about the love of Christmas,

How to be kind and give to other people.
Then we are joined by millions of others
Sing a new song, let everyone know

Well did I dream or was I really on that hillside

On that Christmas night so very long ago,
Everyone cares for each other
Sing a new song let everyone know
