Carol, The Ancient Yuletide Troll is the first in a series of stories about Carol, a good troll who serves as a Santa figure for monsters. It introduces Carol, and explains how she became Santa’s helper for delivering toys to the monsters. When Carol sees that the other monsters don’t like her because she’s the only one who receives presents from Santa (as she is the only monster who is “nice”), Carol pays Santa a visit. Santa encourages Carol to be the one to help turn the monsters around and get them on his nice list too. Carol tries, but the other monsters just ignore her, inspiring her to take matters into her own hands. She begins secretly giving toys to the naughty monsters instead of continuing to try and turn them into nice ones. Despite her good intentions, will Carol’s actions go against Santa’s wishes and put her on the naughty list as well? This fun, original story will not only teach children the importance of good behavior, but will teach them a great lesson in friendship, kindness, and sharing. Carol, The Ancient Yuletide Troll shows children the true spirit of Christmas in a new way from a not-so-scary monster named Carol.

Are you a beginner who wants to play Christmas songs, hymns, folksongs, and spirituals but have never played music or cannot read sheet music? Don't worry! With our simple, picture-based sheet music, you can start playing immediately. The songs and melodies have been adapted especially for beginners, using number-coded circles instead of musical staff or notes. The sheet music is suitable for 10-17 note kalimbas and the most modern kalimbas already have engraved numbers and letters representing the name of the notes. The notes become higher as you move away from the center and alternate from right to left. The songs cover two or three octaves and we use dots to indicate different octaves. The standard 17-note kalimba contains 3 octaves: 1) a full 2nd small octave, 2) a 3rd small octave, and 3) 3 notes from the 4th small octave. The 2nd small octave goes from C4 to C5 and is depicted in our sheet music as simple numbers. The notes from the 3rd small octave have numbers with one dot above each number. The three notes C6, D6, and E6 in the 4th octave are indicated by numbers with two dots above them. The numbers and dots will help you to begin to play immediately. Follow the numbers and enjoy the music! Note: Some melodies have been changed and simplified for a diatonic range. Christmas songs are a unique music genre traditionally associated with the celebration of Christmas. They can be divided into several categories, including carols, hymns, and secular songs. Carols are songs that are typically religious in nature and tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Hymns are sacred songs that are sung in churches during Christmas services are often more contemplative in nature. Secular Christmas songs are those that are not specifically religious in nature but are still associated with the holiday season. Regardless of the specific type, Christmas songs are an important part of the holiday season for many people and are often enjoyed by families and friends as they come together to celebrate the occasion. This book includes 43 Christmas and gospel songs: Away in a Manger Christ Was Born on Christmas Day Desk the Halls Go, Tell It on the Mountain Jingle Bells Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Joy to the World!

"See the blazing Yule before us..." This is just one of the many ancient British folk songs we all know and love. Other tunes and symbols that tug on our memories have similar historical roots, hearkening back to a shared Pagan past. These dances, songs, and theatrical plays in the English folk tradition are now little known to most of the modern Pagan community. Reviving these vital traditions can bring new life to Renaissance festivals, neopagan rituals, and community events. Introducing the lively music and homegrown entertainments of times long past, this descriptive how-to is designed for twenty-first-century joviality. The songs, dances, and plays of old are explained in their mythical, seasonal, and historical significance and outlined for easy reenactment. Simple-to-follow instructions detail six dances including the popular Abbots Bromley Horn dance, six full scripts for dramatic performances of Mummer's Plays (folk plays of death and rebirth), and over thirty songs with lyrics and music. Kick up your heels, hold high your skirts, and make merry the year through.
