Jolly Old Saint Nicholas hoever has stood the test o time next to Jingle Bells and Up on the House-Top.

The tune is cast in a ree and easy sing style that is instantly grasped by young players. Audiences ill delight in the resh treatment o a tune that can t help but bring a smile during the happiest time o the year.
