I came across some kids singing this song when I noticed the songwriter, Paul Evans. At least I think it was the same. Evans’ version was an improvement and I almost used it until I came across Ella Fitzergerald singing about good ole Santa getting stuck which I liked even more and that’s when I looked the lyrics up for both. They are different songs with the slightest word change in the title ‘The’ is replaced in Ella’s to ‘My’.
Please press play to enjoy Ella singing ‘Santa Got Stuck Up In My Chimney’ from 1950.
Normally, this is DH’s off Friday but he decided to change Fridays. Next week he works Monday and Thursday, so changing Fridays out will make for a nice holiday week of togetherness! Here are a few Friday Sillies to kick off the weekend fun.
Here’s a fun activity if you have kids, have them to get creative by filling out this little activity If Santa got stuck in my chimney page. Another kid friendly project I found is Santa going down the chimney paper craft. For those who love to make their own Christmas greetings I found this Santa’s stuck in the chimney card project. It’s super cute and I’d love to try it but it’s a bit involved. Keeping with theme, I found a DIY Santa’s stuck in the chimney place setting idea.
Here’s hoping Santa doesn’t get stuck in your Chimney next week. Maybe, we need to leave the jolly ole elf some celery sticks instead of cookies. What do you think? Have a hap-hap-happy Christmas time!
