Want to do an inter-generational Christmas program? All of these children's Christmas musicals may be done as inter-generational Christmas programs. Simply combine children with their parents, children with the high school kids, children with their grandparents, children with the senior choir, or children with their teachers . . . there are lots of ways to make a musical inter-generational!
You have your choice of a full-length 40-minute version ($40 plus shipping, performance time: 40 minutes) or a short 20-minute version ($30 plus shipping, similar script but fewer/shorter songs - performance time: 20 minutes). Purchase of a Christmas musical gives you permission to make as many copies of the script, music, lyric sheet, and vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) as needed for your performance. NOTE: Preschool musicals are only available in a 20-minute version ($30 plus shipping, performance time: 20 minutes).
A keyboard CD (no vocals) is also available for $20 plus shipping, for those times when your piano player isn't available or when you need to free up your hands to teach the actions or sign language. This CD may also be used for your performance - it's like hiring a piano player who plays the music the same way every time!).
To preview this children's Christmas musical program, the full script and the vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. The preview package does not include permission to perform the script or any of the songs in the musical.
If you would like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own children's Christmas songs, the purchase price of the performance rights for the script is $17 (the script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges).
If you already have a script and you prefer to purchase individual songs from Cathy's children's Christmas musicals, you have the following options: NOTE: If you are looking for songs that are a good fit for your preschoolers, check out my Pre-K Christmas songs.
1. Purchase sheet music. Sheet music ($3.50 per song) includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. Sheet music can be e-mailed (PDF format) OR printed and mailed.
2. Purchase an MP3 to go along with your sheet music. MP3s ($2.00 per song) include two tracks for each song: a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. MP3's are e-mailed.
3. Purchase a Custom CD to go along with your sheet music. There is a $10 labor charge for each custom CD plus the cost of each song that you purchase. Custom CDs include both a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. (Example: Custom CD with 2 songs = $10 labor charge + $2.00 for Song #1 + $2.00 for Song #2.

"I ordered nine preview packages of your various Christmas programs and all of the music I listened to was inspiring. We picked one of your musicals for this year and I'm going to save the other preview kits . . . . perhaps we have the next eight years of programs already figured out! Thanks for your creative efforts."
"I thank you again for your beautiful music. It touched the hearts of many people during the Christmas holidays in the hill country of Texas."
