This episode combines two threads in The American Tapestry Project: the American Way of Christmas and popular music by examining the backstories of ten of the best Christmas carols about that American icon – Santa Claus. From “Up on the Rooftop” to “Twas the Night Before Christmas” we’ll hear the best that’s been sung about Jolly Old St. Nick and Santa Claus who is coming to town and knows whether you’ve been naughty or nice.
