Written in 1864, Up on the Housetop is known as the second oldest secular Christmas song, with Jingle Bells being the first. It is also the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. This popular Christmas song, now arranged for developing Tenor-Bass voices, has been sung and recorded many times over the years and is often heard on radio and television. Also available for Tenor-Bass Solo (BLB026 A Season to Celebrate Solo Book).
