Christmas: Where, When, And Why

Gabe Messenger has a unique essay assignment from his English teacher: to interview people and ask them about their favorite Christmas memory or tradition...where it took place, when it happened, and why it remains so special.  So Gabe and his dad head to Tan N. Baum's Christmas Tree Farm - run by Tan, his brother Dan, and their sister Nan - which is sure to be a terrific place to gather stories from people coming to buy their Christmas trees. While they are there, they interview a crazy mix of characters, hear many different tales of Christmas, and make some very special memories of their own. This dynamic musical is packed with terrific songs, includes a DVD with presentations for choir movement, and includes opportunities for inter-generational performance.  Titles: Christmas: Where, When and Why; Christmas Carol Medley; Christmas Tree Medley; Visions of Christmas; The Story; The 'Thought that Counts' Blues; and Finale. Grades 1-4. Duration: 30 minutes.
