Less exciting, “Riding Our Sleds Through The Snow” has Johanna Lewis lah-dee-dahing about childish endeavors through mediocre kidsong. Just play.
I’m not sure “Go Freeze” is actually about sledding, despite Bobs & Lolo singing about it. This is a hard rocking kidsong about the Squid Games event. So, WTF?
The Blues help “Slide In The Snow” from John Vosel & the Nutcrackers. No competitions, just an integral part of dealing with all that white stuff. Cool.
Unplugged chaos, “Sledding Is so Fun” features Yulenog making fun more than sense. Still, like it.
“Sled Riding” is mostly braggadocio from Three Days Wait, but their American rock makes me root for ’em.

No Defense! from the AI pop “Snowball Fight Fiesta“. Wait, is Children’s tunes implying you’re EATing what’s thrown? With hot sauce?

A few years back i did post about the exchange of compacted frozen crystals hurled adversarially from teams like an outdoor dodgeball. This something practiced for more than half a millennium, perhaps longer but only historically recorded that long before. No actual fatalities have been recorded (not from the balls themselves anyway–we’re much to damaged an intelligence not to kill one another in EVERY setting imaginable), and the Japanese have created a professional sport based on this (Yukigassen)… so, let’s play!
One, two, three strike–yer out! for “The First Snowball of the Season” Golden Orchestra & Singers put their lyrics to ‘Take Me Out’. Okay.

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?
Kids just running around outside inspires Carole Kuck into “Dreaming of Christmas”. This piano recital pop is nostalgic and sweet. No actual games get dropped, however.
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.
Chad Ackerman startles the lineup with a BLUE ALERT comment on the actual Christmas game for kids: good = gifts. “Fuckin’ Christmas Time” says it all with a jazz beaten pop melody (and falsetto!).
“Seesaw (For Christmas)” starts out as a wonderful tale from Thrice a Chuckle. Then it gets tall. Spoken word.
The String Beans play “Santa Says“–and so can you! Follow along with this authoritarian announcer and keep score. Or… squid games.

In “Reindeer Games” by Hillbilly Rick, horseshoes and basketball get mentioned. AI country slop… but FINALLY!

I swear i’ll play Cattan with you in just a minute, right now i’m just so eggnog busy…! Surely That Time of the Year is not conducive to Canasta, or even Hide and Seek. But can’t we be more Semitic and sit and spend family time with a Gee-Ay-Em-Ee? For the next month i’ll pick over the few and far between Xmas songs about pastimes whether they be childish, or dreidel, or even the bowl games. Roll the dice and take a turn!
The games you already know about certainly include Reindeer Games, like in that song. So let’s start with prep in the form of “To the Reindeer Games“, kidsong by Lloyd, Debby Lytton Rudolph from some animated movie.
Next some AI from BitSonix, a country drawling “The Other Reindeer Games“. It’s a bit of a redneck introduction for Rudolph. Cousins KISSING! Run!!
Rudolph gets into the swing of the country come on with his own “Reindeer Games” when Austin Bohannon sings it. What a playa.
The “Reindeer Games” by Mindforge Music is more singles’ mixings with AI country playfulness. PG naughtiness.
2Bad DadZ’s “Reindeer Games” may be merely Rudolph’s story rapped out, but it plays well with others.
Freddy Prince Krueger over modulates the pop idea that “Reindeer Games” are just so much nonsense. Reverb reverb reverb reverb.
