Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from the Youth Services Staff!
Here are a few songs, stories, and fingerplays for you to enjoy at home during the library’s winter holidays storytime break. We hope you have tons of fun with your families over the holidays, and we look forward to seeing you again when storytimes come back the week of January 11th, 2016!

Here Is the Chimney
Here is the chimney (Make a fist with thumb tucked inside)
Here is the top (Place other hand, palm down, on top of fist)
Open the lid (Remove hand)
And OUT Santa will pop! (Have thumb pop up)
Dear Old Santa! (To the tune of “London Bridge”)
Guess whose beard is long and white,
Long and white, long and white?
Guess whose beard is long and white?
Dear old Santa Claus!
Other verses:
Guess who has a jolly laugh, jolly laugh…
Guess whose boots are shiny and black, shiny and black…
The Legend of the Christmas Bell
There is a tiny bell
Heard by those who believe,
That magically jingles every year
On Christmas eve.
So listen for the sound
And know that he is near,
For that Christmas bell is ringing,
“Santa’s coming here!”
