In my capacity as a music teacher (K-2) I need songs for young children to sing in our winter program. I would like to know of individual songs or a source for songs from various foreign countries that would be sung in winter, either as part of holiday observances or simply reflecting aspects of the winter season.

The ones I already know are:

Skating on the Volga
Chinese Lily Song
Feliz Navidad
Habari Gani (Kwanzaa)
Ujima (Kwanzaa)
I Saw Three Ships
Deck the Hall
Light One Candle
My Dreydl
Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
African Noel
The Wren
The Holly and the Ivy
Silent Night
O Tannenbaum

Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you know Snow is Falling on Douglas Mountain?

P.S. It's a bit hard in a forum such as this to know what you mean by a 'foreign country'. ~b.w.

Thank you, Black Walnut. I think I have that song on a Raffi tape somewhere. As I remember, it is a beautiful song, but I'll have to see where it is from.

To address your p.s., I should have been more specific. I am looking for songs from outside of the USA.
