Brickman's gift for infectious, singable melody translates beautifully to choir. This arrangement by Jay Althouse gives the piece warmth and accessibility without sacrificing sophistication, making it ideal for groups seeking contemporary holiday material that feels fresh yet emotionally grounded.

Bright and celebratory, with an underlying warmth that avoids syrup. The piece captures contemporary pop's directness while maintaining the emotional authenticity that defines Brickman's songwriting.

Adult and advanced youth choirs looking for secular winter material with modern sensibility. This piece works for groups comfortable with pop idioms and contemporary harmony while seeking something more thoughtful than purely novelty repertoire.

• Build the energy gradually through the piece. Resist the urge to push dynamics too hard early; let the arrangement itself carry the momentum as voices stack and interweave.
• Balance the sung melody against any accompanying harmony lines. Clarity matters in contemporary pop arrangements, so ensure the top line projects while lower voices support without overwhelming.
• Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in the groove and feel of the original recording. Let it anchor your choir's interpretation rather than dictate it.

Program this as a centerpiece for a modern holiday concert or as an opener that signals your choir's range across musical styles. It pairs naturally with a cappella or instrumental arrangements of other seasonal material, offering audiences a contemporary entry point into festive choral singing.

• Singing pop-influenced harmonic progressions and contemporary voice leading
• Maintaining clear articulation and diction in a rhythmically driven arrangement
• Balancing ensemble blend with contemporary musical style and groove
