Take a rollicking ride to Snowflake County-a place where Christmas celebrations have become so extravagant they threaten to over shadow the simplicity of Christmas'true meaning. It seems the only one who understands the secret of Jesus' simple birth is little Suzy Hallmark-but no one is listening. It will take a series of crazy mishaps during the community's annual seasonal program before the noise stops and everyone realizes that Christmas isn't about how brightly lights and decorations shine-it's about Jesus, the light of the world. Christy Semsen has once again combined her tuneful songs and clever dialogue with a strong spiritual theme in this delightful musical that is as contemporary as today's headlines. Daniel Semsen's sparkling accompaniment tracks feature musical styles that range from pop to rock to rap and polka. (There are even country line dancing angels and tap dancing wise men!) A full-color Teacher's Resource Kit and a performance IVD are available, providing all the production help you'll need. In addition to long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, you can also purchase Fun Paks for your choir to use in performance and keep as a souvenir. Your children and congregation are going to love their visit to Snowflake County, where the secret is out: Christ is the center of Christmas!

This moving cantata is a worship service of contemplation and reflection. Based on the classic Evensong service, the work is appropriate for choirs looking for a something that is both traditional and yet very innovative. A profound blending of message and music, the writers have provided a moving invitation to quietly consider the advent moment from an ancient yet relevant perspective, while the narration for multiple readers and congregation poignantly weaves everything together. Though brief, this powerful work will be an inspiring moment as your church prepares for the Christmas event. Truly inspired!
