a truly special show, like no modern Christmas show. imagine, one of The Happiness Boys being Santa for a night. delightful. and, Oh Holy Night, aka Song of Christmas, is one of my favorite Christmas songs. i only wish i had the kind of voice you need, in order to sing it properly. please keep the good old songs coming.
