Christmas songs from a five year old

We were talking about the concept of celebrations today, and I was really pushing the central point that "the important thing about celebrations is that people come together".  There may be special foods, or songs or dances, special clothes or traditions, but the important thing etc, etc.  Yesterday, I used birthdays as an example of a celebration, and today I talked about Christmas.  When we got to the special songs portion of the lesson, I was asking for suggestions.  One student offered, "Jingle Bells!" and another knew "We Wish You A Merry Christmas!"

When I called on the third student, he screwed up his face and said thoughtfully, "Well, it's like, you know..." and started singing (to the tune of Happy Birthday) "Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas!"

Yes.  Love it.
