Apparently ending a prayer, “Wake Up” from Shame Shame indies the need for alertness with a regular morning routine. Angels will help. I guess.

When Dust of the Saints applies the kidsong to “Wake Up, It’s Christmas!” observance and love come to the fore. It calls to mind that odd march-dancing kids do ’cause–you know–little coordination before age 4.

Kidsong from Sara Lovell “Wake Up It’s Christmas Time” asks the big questions as well as thumps the big drum to get going Xmas day. Nearly Celtic in its morose merriment.

Kidsong seems hardly necessary to send the arousal alarm. Kids know to GET UP Xmas morn, neh?

“Wake Up, It’s Christmas” is Elm Tree Town ringing bells and numbering days. A nice balance between childish treacle and danceable pop. For those who like that sort of thing.

“See the Little Children Sleeping Till It’s Christmas Day” is more of that kindergarten/opera approach from Twinkle Toes Music. With electric guitar bridge. It’s all over the place. Those children are so still… uh oh.

Tiny Totz Kidz delivers a more soothing pop number with “It’s Christmas.” Your assignment: spread joy and cheer, not forget Baby Jesus, and open eyes.

After trying to stay up all night Xmas Eve, what else ya gonna do but GET UP! Arising on a holiday morn is never a bigger deal than on twelve twenty-five, but most participants don’t usually kick off the gift grab before 6 AM, according to those who bother with statistics. Still, that realization when you open your eyes that dreams are about to be fulfilled, the duty of getting the ‘rents up, the chore of b.fast/church/milking the cows first… Heavy Sigh. Let’s do this!

I don’t want to confuse baby Jesus with dead Jesus, yet when Anna Waronker sings “Rise” she’s actually referring to Sarah Silverman’s spirit as Santa’s second in command who wants to do more. Gospel-ish show tune anthem from some MAX animated series no one saw.

Blinded croon to indie pop “Is It Christmas Yet?” It begins with waking up… but that’s a frame of mind for CHANGE. Inspirational.

Brian Kinder doffs the topper to JC while awaking in “Joy to the World; It’s Christmas.” Kidsong with mucho brass fanfare. Now that’s up and about.

Will we ever CATCH Santa Claus?

Well, David Phelps has a plan for “Catching Santa.” Marvy bossa nova with a seductive tango beat. A stun gun? Night vision goggles? Delicious!

Daily Bumps Family also decides “Let’s Catch Santa.” Family rock about taking a hostage. Uh oh.

Finally three-year-old Angelica yanks Santa by the ankle while she sings “I Caught Santa.” Kidsong with all the good and bad qualities of the genre.

Kiddos Edu Tunes synthesizes the AI out of “Looking for Santa Claus.” Neo-western pop… no, it’s just a mess.

King Author, A​.​P​.​N​.​S, Bling the Great raps about “Looking for Santa” because he doesn’t come to his particular hood. Get comfy, gonna be a while.

Concision, on the other hand, helps Goiter explain how “Santa is Real.” She-ing is believing.

Canterbury Tavel wants to in Lapland so you can help “In Search of Santa.” He might be in the Fells. Hyperactive kidsong.

Let’s keep the toss turning with more songs about staying up all night Christmas Eve. This time with peeking, you know that thing kids want to do, like during prayers–to see if God is real. Some of those ankle biters take it too far and plan to capture the old Saint. We’ll get to them.

Perry Novak adds jug band to the kidsong with “Waiting Up for Santa.” Seems merely impatient. Okay.

“Waiting for Santa” from Sugarpie and The Candymen is a cappella fidgeting of the bebop kind. Jazzy cool.

“Waiting for St. Nicholas” is dad-band retro synthed rock of the yawn some variety from Philly Cuzz. They tried.

Monkey Sing-along is also “Waiting for Santa,” possibly as relief from the heavy burden of breathing. Tinkly yet depressing kidsong.

Off-base here for the December holidays, but the Shavuot Song “Stay Up all Night” by Kerry Bar-Cohn is so meshugana and charming AND tango, i have to share. Now, write a staying up late song for Chanukah and i’ll replace this.

“Staying up Past Midnight” by Andy Beisel & The Buccaneers is declamatory pop with some tea to spill about what the insomniac saw. An 8.5 on the fun-o-meter.

Simon Smith works out “Staying Up Late for Santa.” Reeks of AI, but this symphonic kidsong has a nice edge to it. The plan doesn’t exactly pan out, though. Still… presents! A puppy!!

Alyssa Liang brings us the short tale of the child who sits by the fire “Waiting for Santa Claus,” but doesn’t quite make it. Perfidious kidsong.

Alice Olsen grammas up the kidsong of “Waiting Up for Santa.” I know you’re impatient, but this song, it’s a bit strident. Chill, lady.

Storybooksong is to thank for “Waiting for Santa.” Welcome folk helps the kidsong morality.

Welcome back The Zygomats who wail “I’m Waiting Up for Santa Claus.” Punk promise.

Perry Novak pushes the orchestration (that oboe!) for the kidsong “Waiting Up for Santa.” Get some toothpicks to hold those eyelids up!

Nervous Norvus serenades us tinnily with “I’m Waiting Up for Santa Claus.” Careful, Santa, it’s a trap. Old timey kidsong.
