Children’s capacity for play is seemingly endless. So it would be for you, if you could only spectate everyone else getting to Do stuff. These poor, powerless preschoolers need something to make time go by, especially during Xmas.
In “Let The Children Play (Christmas song)” by Tony Brown (sapptube52) pretense is the game. For God. For Santa. For space travel. It’s some weird kidsong.
Prog rock skeeved into pop makes “The Children Play” from Flip Damon a mystical journey from school to home for the holiday break. What’s going on here?

Youth on Track likes to play a game with his stocking and another with the chimney in the thrasher “Christmas Time is My Favorite Time“. Imaginative.

The String Beans play “Santa Says“–and so can you! Follow along with this authoritarian announcer and keep score. Or… squid games.
