“I Believe in Santa Claus” is Freddie Hart and the Heart Beats’ kidsong for the old folks’ home. For sak en.

Trying again Kevin James (as Santa) rocks out Sesame Street about how you gotta just “Believe.” All of the monsters there do, seems.

Also again, but slowing down with old age, the incomparable Mel Blanc talk-sings as Bugs Bunny in the 1974 kidsong “Do You Believe in Santa Claus?” He gets Socratic in his logic.

Nicole Williamson yowls like a drunk six-year-old in the inconceivably symphonic kidsong “Do You Believe in Santa Claus?” Car crashes sound better.

Sir Norman Wisdom (funnyman of British cinema back in the early ’60s) addresses all good (and otherwise) children with his overly orchestrated kidsong “Do You Believe in Christmas?” He’s a crack-up. For himself.

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.

“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.
