of light..."

Zat You, Santa Claus?—Jack Fox/arr. Shaw.
Oh my goodness, Santa, is "zat" really you knockin'?
The fabulous "holiday swing" feel and humorous

Armstrong, Garth Brooks, Brian Setzer, and Harry
Connick, Jr. There's plenty of fun for choirs at every
level, from elementary through high school, in this
terrific choral arrangement by Kirby Shaw.
Highly recommended!
