I do this at several schools every year. I just play songs the kids request. I play everything by ear (just about all my gigs are done by ear). I feel at home doing that. I'm guessing you may not be as comfortable playing by ear, or you wouldn't have posted. Not a problem. There's a ton of music out there. Any Christmas music would do, but you might check with the kids' music teacher. You might be able to play out of the songbooks they use in class, and then they can sing along while you play. If that's not an option, at least make sure the songs are easily recognizable to the students - it will keep their interest, and they may even get excited about the tuba (we need all of that we can get). Good luck and enjoy.
