It's funny to think that almost 8 years since we did this at our school holiday concert, people are still watching it, and commenting on it. I'm the 3rd from the right on the bottom row. South Kitsap High School Vocal Music Department in Port Orchard Washington.

[@normannorman8046]

and its wonderful. well well done, all of you.

[@crashunderride]

I loved the short one that would jump up and down. Cracked me up every time.

[@acsmith7814]

Wonderful. Who was your music and/or drama teacher who put this together? S/he REALLY deserves a shout out!

Wth I didn’t even notice that lol

[@artierace8664]

Yeah! That amused me too! And the tall kid with the 'Of' sign...

[@houndandhandbag]

I was imagining the mechanism used for a bass drum so they could flip the signs up! But in other videos you really can't see those two monks on the floor so it really does look like the pair are doing something with their feet.

[@sallymathes]

This was done at a public high school.

[@brianmartin557]

Thank God there are still some that allow this!

[@sorellman]

The reason why it was allowed at a public school is precisely because a jab taken at the hypocrisy and nonsense associated with everything religion. Jesus was actually against religion and the sacerdotal class. All you need to do in order to realize that is to read the Bible. Indeed, as the great Mark Twain once said, "The best cure against Christianity is reading the Bible." He was not kidding.

[@1966Route66]

Fun times. We enjoyed doing this and are excited at the number of views. We worked at this for quite a while and there was never an intention of singing it. Yes, it was done before us. In fact, another high school director sent me the list of what syllables went on each sign. Yes, it will be done again. We have mailed our costumes to other groups doing it and have enjoyed seeing their videos as well. Merry Christmas!!

This act was created and shown first in the Houston Christmas Pageant of First Baptist Church in Houston, Dr. Gerald Ray, in the mid 1980s and is featured on a Pageant tape. This is a perfect duplication. Good work, kids. Always a hoot!

[@Trudy41]

Why on earth would 969 people give thumbs down on this?? God has a sense of humor, and these monks obviously are in on it. What awesome talent!! This is truly the spirit of Christmas. Makes my heart happy. I will ask for healing for those who for whatever reasons didn't feel inspiration from it.

I must tell you I was thrilled because I laughed and cried. And the little guy or gal on the end---or next to the end---stole the show. What a hoot. Are you SURE this was done in a SCHOOL setting. See there is always something good to be said about not telling everything we know about a school program. BRAVO TO ALL of the teachers, students and administrators. BRAVO to the parents....who laughed and clapped and appreciated. Kudos to you all.

[@caheddr]

Other than being from another era, I am certain Handel would have loved it! That the kids chose this over "Jingle Bells" should silence the harshest critic who may wish to say it is disrespectful. That they can do it with their feet(or, so it looked), should be enough to show they had fun with it. Whatever the means, God had the way to touch every generation, in a way meaningful to them. I'm glad I can share another gift with others on FB. Bravo!!
