Merry Christmas Everyone – Shakin’ Stevens | YouTube-SignSing
“These signed-along-to-songs were made initially for children that I work with who use sign supported English or other signing systems to help them express their needs. For this reason the songs are chosen with care and signed to follow lyrics as closely as possible. I hope to share a feeling of inclusion and understanding and encourage communication in all it’s forms. ” – SignSing

Makaton – WHITE CHRISTMAS | YouTube | SingingHandsUK
We love a bit of White Christmas – here’s our cover of the Drifter’s version which is most well-known from Home Alone! As you can see, don’t sign the colour ‘WHITE’ for white Christmas – you need to sign SNOW instead. Enjoy!
Lyrics and sign transcription:
Badoobadum, doop doop, doop doo doop
Badoobadum, doop doop, doop doo doop
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas(I / DREAM / SNOW / CHRISTMAS)
Just like the ones I used to know (SAME / CHRISTMAS / KNOW)
Where those treetops glisten and children listen (CHRISTMAS TREE / SHINE / CHILDREN / LISTEN)
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow (SLEIGH BELLS / SNOW)
Then I, I, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas (I / DREAM / SNOW / CHRISTMAS)
With every Christmas card I write (EVERY / CHRISTMAS CARD / TO WRITE)
May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright (DAY / FUN / SHINE)
And may all your Christmases be white (ALL / CHRISTMAS / SNOW)
I, I, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I, I, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
