We’re sooooo excited! It’s nearly December and we’re gearing up for Christmas!. We LOVE this song by Barry Manilow – it’s probably one of the best Christmas songs that most people have never heard……until now! And it’s even better to sign with Makaton too – there’s great festive lyrics and core concepts in here, there’s a fabulous tune to sign and sway along to and there are semi-tone key changes – it’s got it all! Get yourselves some festive hats and some ugly Christmas jumpers and come along and join in 🙂
