6 Christmas Songs

Here are the six Christmas songs that I have on this site, just linked together as one "song", so that you can listen to all without having to keep clicking "play".  You can still click on the left under "Song List" for the individual songs.

A Christmas favorite, just a different version.

Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Key of A

Mailbox Song Words/Chords

Grandkids Singing The Mailbox Song  (click on one of the links for video of song)
Mailbox Song Tutorial, Leah's Class

I've had a request for these words.  I learned this song in 2nd grade, from my teacher.  She played the guitar, and had GREAT songs!  I especially liked this one because of the last verse (ice-cream soda and bubble gum) - always food hits it home every time.

I play it in the key of D below, but the key of C (below, following the KEY OF D) works great also, and is any easier key to use for ukelele.
