I need help translating some songs into sign language

[catybarra]

Our choir is going to be singing Christmas carols (some I think that aren't the most known) and I have been asked to have my sign language club kids sign with them. I haven't had to do anything like this since I had to do it for a college final exam in ASL. Is there anyone that can direct me somewhere that might have translations already or to help me (let me know if I am translating it wrong) do it myself?

Thanks!

here is a link to a lot of the songs from my church's Hymns in ASL. they are listed in ABC order. I know they have some of my favorite Christmas songs on the list.

Thank you! I will be getting the music tomorrow or on Monday. I got an A for my translation of I've Had the Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing. Hopefully I won't run into toooooo many problems with these songs lol.

There are many songs glossed at this site: http://theinterpretersfriend.com/ He has his own system of describing signs but it is explained on the site.

There are also to Yahoo groups that you could join and they have a file bank of glossed songs. Those are Interpreting_secular_music and Interpreting_spiritual_music.
Go to Yahoogroups.com to check those out.
