Holdi ng On to Christmas is something we love to do wrapping our arms around cherished memories; re-living the moments of Christmas that come to life in our hearts and minds year after year; being reminded of how much we are loved and how much we love in return; holding close those who make our lives special; expressing our love and thankfulness through cards and gifts, hugs and kisses, joy and laughter; sharing our love for one another around a cup of hot chocolate with Mom's homemade Christmas cookies; and hearing Dad, once again, read the Christmas story from the family Bible.
Shared memories and more are at the center of the new Christmas musical, Holding On to Christmas, from beloved arranger Marty Parks. This delightfully charming, comfort-the-soul musical is a warm invitation to come sit by the fireside, wrap up in your favorite Christmas blanket, and reminisce about Christmas as, together, we celebrate family and friends, and most importantly, the Savior who was born so long ago on that first Christmas night in Bethlehem.
Holding On to Christmas is a very special slice of Christmas-goodness that you will be excited to present to your congregation and community...a wonderful celebration of all we hold dear at this most special time of year!

Song Titles: Christmastime * Holding On to Christmas * Sing a Song of Christmas (Carol Medley) includes Sing a Song of Christmas; Angels, from the Realms of Glory; Angels We Have Heard on High; and O Come, All Ye Faithful * In the Bleak Midwinter * The Birthday of a King * The Shepherds (Glory to God) * Behold that Star * Only God * Finale (Christmastime and Holding On to Christmas).

For many of us, Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, a time to be spent with family and friends...a festive, happy time. But for others, the same holiday season only serves to underscore the loneliness,pain, and hopelessness of their own lives.
In our story, Susanna King's bright spirit and love for life overrides her circumstances; you see, Susanna has been recently diagnosed with cancer. But in spite of bad news and challenging times, she lives with the joy of Christmas in her heart.
This is an emotion-filled story, rich with heart. It comes alive with great new songs that are sometimes powerful, sometimes celebratory, sometimes poignant; sometimes happy, sometimes sad; songs that propel the story along while speaking to our hearts with the love language of God's Christmas story...the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
Designed to bring your music and drama ministries together, Shepherds and Kings proclaims a strong, vibrant message about the power of love--our love for one another, our love for God, and most importantly, God's desire that ALL would come to know of His great love for us. Share the hope and good news of Christmas with your church and community this year, through your presentation of Shepherds and Kings.

Song Titles: Christmas All Over the World (Opener) * Underscore 1 (Susanna Arrives) * Underscore 2 (Mattiello's) * We All Need Christmas * Hopes and Fears (Duet) * Mercy for Me * Everlasting Light * Underscore 3 (Accusations) * Prince of Peace * Underscore 4 (Realization) * Winter White * Shepherds and Kings * Christmas Makes Us One (with We All Need Christmas; Christmas Makes Us One; O Come, All Ye Faithful and Shepherds and Kings).
