• Students dressed in pajamas and nightgowns for "Christmas Is Coming!"
• Students dressed as sugar plums, candy canes, and other delectable treats for "The Sugar Plums."
• A special group of elves dancing down the aisles distributing candy canes or other treats during "St. Nick At Night."
• Students dressed as dancing reindeer for "Reindeer On The Roof."
• A special Santa Claus, listening to children's Christmas wishes from a special location on stage during "When I Look At Santa."

This mini-musical is designed to be performed in "concert version" on choral risers. The Director may also decorate the stage area as a bedroom with a window, and act out some of the rhyming verse. In this case, there can be a fireplace with Christmas stockings, a mamma in a 'kerchief, a papa in a cap, and a Santa with a sack of toys and a pipe.
