It's not a Christmas piece per se, but Jeux d'enfants, "Children's Games", has a Christmassy feel, being about kid's toys.

There are five movements: a march titled “Trumpet and Drum”, a lullaby “The Doll”, then “The Spinning Top”, and “Little Husband, Little Wife”, and finally a galop, “The Ball”.

Recorded by RNZ Concert in Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland, 12 December 2020
