Hardly anyone would dare to argue with this all-too-familiar phrase about Christmas: It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! But why? What is it that makes the Christmas season so special?<\/h4>\n

\u200bThis musical is set in a small town square as a local church choir gets ready for their annual Christmas presentation.
