Hold on to Your Hat - It's Christmas: Christian Children's Christmas Musical (Program, Play)

Hold on to Your Hat - It's Christmas!

A children's Christmas musical, for kids in pre-school through 6th grade, that includes 9 children's Christmas songs which include portions of 5 Christmas carols & a narrated script with the Luke 2 text.

Hold on to Your Hat - It's Christmas!
The angels are in charge of delivering boxes of hats to everyone in the Christmas story and the hats have arrived just in time! Each hat box includes a note: "Hold on to your hat, and remember that God is always with you."

Mary and Joseph receive their hats in a barn in Bethlehem and are reminded that God will be with them as a new family. The shepherds receive practical hats for their work in the fields and are reminded that God is always with them - which is quite a promise, because the sheep really keep them moving! The wisemen know that God has been with them in their search to find the savior and they trust that God will continue to be with them as they finish their journey. You'll be surprised by what the wisemen do with their hats!

This Christmas musical invites you hold on to your hat as you celebrate Jesus - God's promise to always be with us . . . Emmanuel.

Tell everyone that a savior is born!

Purchase of this Christmas musical program grants you permission to make as many copies of the sheet music and script as needed for your performance plus permission to make and distribute copies of the sample music CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) and lyric sheet to your kids (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!).

You have your choice of a full-length 40-minute version ($36 plus shipping, performance time: 40 minutes) or a short 20-minute version ($26 plus shipping, shorter script which does not include the wisemen and fewer songs - performance time: 20 minutes).

To preview this Christmas musical play, a script and sample music CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. If you would like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own children's songs, purchase of performance rights for the script is $15 (script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges). If you already have a Christmas script written and would like to use some of the children's Christmas songs from this musical, sheet music is available for $3.00 per song plus shipping. Sheet music includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. No CD is included when you purchase sheet music for individual songs.

A rehearsal CD (keyboard only - 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 motions 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!
