The three Christmas Songs often heard by ordinary people are The First Noel, Jingle Bells, and Santa Claus is Comin' To Town. Otniel does not only combine The three Songs in The order of The first, second and third Songs. In a certain part, namely at The end of The song, he combines The three Songs to be sung simultaneously with The accompaniment of applause and Christmas bells. This song has a unique dynamic, in which Otniel wants The choir singing it to invite The entire audience to sing along and The singers must help convince The audience that The joy of Christmas is with Them. In this arrangement, The singers should show an attitude that encourages The audience to dance and sing, and There are times when The singers tell stories about The atmosphere of Christmas. visit this link to get The score: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/christmas-party-digital-sheet-music/22504174  less
