Day 4 was all about Christmas carols. Last year we started a tradition where the kids gather around the piano and sing a Christmas carol while Daddy plays the piano, and Mommy tapes it as our Christmas message. This year we have decided to extend it a bit – both of the girls will play their Christmas pieces on the piano and then we will sing a carol. I picked up Curious George Christmas Carols to offer them some inspiration. 
Tonight we read through the book and sang a bit of each of the carols. The book also came with a CD so I have added it to my iPhone and showed them how to play the songs whenever they want.
And the winner is … Deck the Halls. Fortunately it was unanimous. Later this month, after lots of practice, we will record our message.
