about

Woohoo! It's the Christmas Holidays! In New Zealand they're around 6 weeks long and over the summer time. This song is all about school being over and what kind of things you might do during the holidays.

lyrics

Christmas Holiday Time
©Kath Bee 2001
Comes in December each year without a doubt
It’s like the weekend, something to sing about
Our work is over; it’s time for chilling out
It’s Christmas holiday time

Goodbye to classrooms, goodbye to teachers too
Hello to sunshine, goodbye to feeling blue
Weeks of freedom from ringing bells all day
Because it’s Christmas holiday time

Making toast and taking it straight back to bed
Reading magazines or books we’ve never read
We’re on holiday

We’ve read the whiteboard too many times this year
The words “Be quiet” are ringing in our ears
We’ve written stories, multiplication too
And now it’s Christmas holiday time
BRIDGE
We could play cricket on my lawn
We could play spotlight until dawn
We could go on an expedition
We could have a burping competition
There’s no end to what we could do

I could stay at yours or you could stay at mine
In our sleeping bags giggling all the time
Or we might go away with our families
Because it’s Christmas holiday time

Swimming at the beach or playing at the park
Watching movies staying up way after dark
We’re on holiday

And when it’s over, we’ll start it all again
‘cos we’ve had time to recharge our brain
New class and teacher to keep us occupied
Until next Christmas holiday time x3
