The Little Drummer Boy - 6 of The 12 Days of Christmas

This is my favorite Christmas song. It is just a sweet and simple song about honoring Christ with our gifts. The story of the little drummer boy was done in clay-mation. We see the journey of the little boy and his pets to go see the Babe. His little lamb gets run over and is killed. The boy is overwhelmed, and asks the magi to heal his lamb. But they direct him to THE LAMB, who does end up healing his pet. The boy's gratitude is shown in his playing his drum for the Babe. I found it to be a sweet story, and love the song.



"The Little Drummer Boy" (originally known as "Carol of the Drum") is a popular Christmas song written by American composer Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941.

This version is by the acapella group Pentatonix.
