Concert Set List First Draft

Emphasis on "first draft".  i.e. subject to change, not yet carved in stone, don't be betting on it, etc... :)
Please note where the children's chorus is expected to pipe up with their lovely voices.  
Please put whatever music you have in the order prescribed below.

Part One

1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - No Choir
2. Here We Come A'Wassailing - No Choir
3. Good Christian Men Rejoice - Sing-a-long style
4. Wexford Carol / Magnificat - Choral parts

Part Two

1. Sleigh Ride & Christmas Eve - No Choir
2. Deck the Halls - No Choir
3. Come Ye Sinners - No Choir
4. Fullness of Grace - Choir Parts
5. In Christ Alone - Choir Parts (Choir joins right from the beginning)
6. O Come All Ye Faithful - Choir Parts
7. Joy to the World - Choir Parts
8. An Irish Christmas Blessing - No Choir
Encore - Go Tell It on the Mountain - Choir Parts (simple gospel harmonies)

Do I need to send a separate music pack for the kids?  I am expecting choir members to take the lead in teaching their respective offspring this stuff and hoping to organize a separate rehearsal with them at a mutually convenient time and place.  p.s. Your suggestions are most welcome.  
I will happily make a listening CD with just the Children's Chorus tracks.  Indicate on the side bar if you'd like one of those (for every car trip you take with the kids from here to the 28th!)
I love littles.  I hope we have a pile of them singing in this concert.
