| Music | The Producer's Copy of the script comes with a complete piano and vocal score. |
| Style | A sung story. (Technically, that makes it a Cantata, but don't let the fancy name put you off!) Does not require any set or props, but props could be used as part of a mime of the story. |
| Synopsis | Where does our modern Santa Claus come from? He's descended from legends of Saint Nicholas, the fourth century Bishop of Myra - legends such as this one! |
