CAR: Keep a copy of the carols in your car. As you are in the car with your children, sing the carols together!
WALKING: Take a walk with your children. Sing a carol as you walk!
CHAIR: Sing a carol as you snuggle together in a comfy chair.
DINNER: Each night, before dinner, place a copy of one of the carols at each person’s place at the dinner table. Sing one or more verses of the carol together before you pray and thank the Lord for your food.
BEDTIME: As you put your child to bed, ask your child what carol he/she would like you to sing. Sing the carol as you rub your child’s back.
