 The
North Pole Pact, A Christmas Time Story, Part I
After having introduced his proposal - The North Pole
Pact in order to lower global emissions - to world
leaders, Santa Claus returns to Santa's Village. The
children are saddened by the humiliation felt by their
usually jolly friend, especially how the host of the
show, Bobby Weasel, belittled him. The children want to
help but Santa tells them that he has given it his best
effort and does not see much hope at leaders of the
world to sign
The North Pole Pact. The children decide to take
things into their own hands about "global warming."

 "Shining
Lights" is a song written by
Daniel Laubacher for children between the ages of
ca. 5 and 11. It may be used for a variety of
performance or learning purposes (i.e., classroom music,
concerts, assemblies, etc.) Below is the text:
You can wish upon a star. Make a wish
no matter where you are.
All you have to do is find, a twinkling star of any
kind.
Shining lights, you're so bright
seems like magic, such a wonderful sight.
Shining lights you're just right, smiling happy
throughout the night.
Candles burning warming the dark.
Morning sunrise warming the heart.
Once you have your lucky star,
doesn't matter if it's near or far.
You may join us now and here, by wishing everyone a
peaceful year.
Shining lights, you're so bright
seems like magic such a wonderful sight.
Shining lights you're just right, smiling happy
throughout the night.
Candles burning warming the dark.
Morning sunrise warming the heart.
