Christmas Sing Song Stories have a longer lineage than many of us can even think of. Mothers singing lullaby songs to their kids were quite a common phenomenon in the Victorian times. Most of the biblical stories and fables were recited in a sing a song style in parishes so as to acquaint the country folks with the preaching of Christ. Even scrolls were recited in a sing a song way as it was a common belief that tunes prevail in one's mind and linger on for a longer span of time than does words.
Christmas Sing Song Stories are easy to frame and goes down really well with kids of all age groups. The texts for such stories can easily be borrowed from the biblical context. But one is at liberty to choose any topic for Christmas Sing Song Stories.
