A Laurie Berkner Christmas: A Parent's Review of Holiday Kindie Music
![A Laurie Berkner Christmas: A Parent's Review of Holiday Kindie Music](https://static.mommypoppins.com/styles/image960x650/s3/lb.jpg)
Kids and grown-ups of all ages turn up the Christmas music this time of year! After all, it’s one of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit. Most of us smile and sing along to the modern and age-old holiday music for a few weeks, but eventually, those songs wear out their welcome, leaving families searching for a little twist on festive tunes.
Enter Laurie Berkner, who families may recognize as a popular kindie music artist. My family recently saw her live holiday concert in Philadelphia—read on to find out more about why we loved the show.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
As a parent of young children, I was excited to take them to a fun, holiday musical act. My daughter was dazzled by the live music, the enthusiasm of the band, and the opportunity to dance to her favorite songs. My almost-2-year-old daughter loved it as well, as it gave her a chance to practice her clapping and stomping skills to her little heart’s content. There was plenty of audience interaction, and my children stayed engaged during the entire performance. (My 4-year-old and I agreed that “Christmas Lights” and “Candy Cane Jane” are our favorite new Christmas songs!) The tunes are upbeat, lighthearted, positive, and just
generally spirit-of-Christmas-inducing.
We were also lucky enough to meet the band after the show, and we were not disappointed. Laurie Berkner and her band were just as sweet, warm, and cordial as one would hope. They welcomed my daughters to sit with them for a few moments, and they all engaged them in genuine conversation.
Now we’re listening to Laurie in the car, at home, and anywhere else we want to change up our Christmas playlist!
