CH-32 THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!

For Beginning Readers. A Short Shared Reading Script Featuring Choral Reading and Read-Aloud Solo Parts.

This holiday script is based on an old English Nursery Rhyme“Christmas is Coming”:

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please to put a penny in the old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny then God bless you!

The words of the nursery rhyme "Christmas is Coming" are historically associated with the traditional English Christmas celebration and the serving of geese for the Christmas feast. The meaning that was conveyed to children through this rhyme was that during this festive period, each should give to charity, according to their means.

In this modernized version, pennies, candy canes, and presents are suggested as good things to put "in the old man's hat". In the end, the readers find what they believe to be the perfect gift for the old man: their friendship and an invitation to Christmas dinner!
