“First comes the stocking of Little Nell
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick” – Up on the Housetop Gene Autry, 1953
I love this Christmas song probably because it was one of the first ones I learned at school and also because my dad was a nostalgic fan of singing cowboy, Gene Autry’s jolly version. And now it’s part of my Little Lovely’s repertoire of toddler tunes, including “Twinkle Twinkle” and “Happy Birthday.”
A few weeks until Christmas, and while I’ve wrapped up most of my big shopping, I’m working on filling stockings and finding white elephant gifts. Here are a few favorites for friends, children and maybe yourself…don’t forget to tell Santa! 🎅🏻💕
