A Harry Potter Christmas [great song by guest artist]


This great song, as well as other original music, was featured in
our extra-special old time children's radio show podcast

(1st verse of magical song, "A Harry Potter Christmas" by Joel Kopischke)

Have yourself a merry Harry Potter Christmas.
You know Santa Claus is just like Dumblemore,
not like Voldemort.
I hope your Christmas is truly magic.
And may your stockings be filled.
I hope nothing happens that’s tragic,
Like having your parents get killed.
So have yourself a merry Harry Potter Christmas.

Have fun,
– Josie

How Do You Spell Channukkahh? [great song by guest artist, The Leevees]


This great song, as well as other original music, was featured in
our extra-special old time children's radio show podcast

(1st verse of song, "How Do You Spell Channukkahh?" by The Leevees)

Is it with a C or H?
I am confused.
What about those N's or K's,
Do you use one or two?
I remember when I was
back in Elementary School,
a Spanish kid told me
that it starts with a silent J.

Have fun,
– Josie

Monkey and the Crocodile [Children's story from India by guest artist]


This great story was written by P. R. Ramachander,
a wonderful storyteller from Bangalore, India.

There was a big lake. In that lake a Crocodile used to live with his wife. By the side of the lake was a big mango tree. On that tree one monkey called Chathura used to live. Mango season came.

The mango tree was full of mangos. The monkey used to eat lots of sweet mangos.

One day, the crocodile swam near the tree and asked Chathura, “I see you are eating something. Can you also give me one?”

Chathura happily plucked two mangos and dropped them into the water. The crocodile ate them and liked them. From then on, daily Chathura gave a few mangos to the crocodile.

One day the crocodile took a few mangos to his wife who liked them very much. She asked the crocodile, “You say that the monkey on the tree eats lot of this sweet fruit. I am sure his brain will be very sweet. I would like to eat the monkey’s brain."

Santa hid my cookies


Santa Claus hid my cookies,
because he was playing hide-and-seek with me,
and I needed to find them.

"Ho ho ho," he said as I looked.

And when I found all of my Christmas cookies,
Santa Claus jumped out and said,
"Ho, ho, here you go."

And then Santa Claus gave me a present.
A book.
A very pretty book.
A very pretty Christmas book.

It was all about Christmas,
and in it I learned,
that because of Christmas
you have to eat Christmas food on Christmas night.
And that's reindeer.

"Ho, ho, ho."

Have fun,
– Josie

"Ho ho ho," says my little red Christmas toe


"Ho ho ho," says my little red Christmas toe,
my little red Christmas toe is very sore.

My little red Christmas toe is very sore,
because I bumped it into a Christmas tree.

I bumped it into a Christmas tree,
so the Christmas decorations fell down and broke.

The Christmas decorations fell down and broke,
so the brave toy tin soldier made a whole bunch more.

The brave toy tin soldier made a whole bunch more,
so Julemand (the Danish Santa) could give us presents.

And on Christmas, Julemand gave us lots of presents,
even a special one for my little red Christmas toe.

A special present for my little red Christmas toe,
it's a toe ring that can do Christmas magic.

A special toe ring that can do Christmas magic,
like make any one toe disappear.

Make any one toe disappear,
so there are only four little red Christmas toes left.

Have fun,
– Josie
