Santa the Cold‑Sensitiveohisama gakudan

Ohisama Band “The Chilly Santa”

Christmas, depending on the country, is generally established as a wintertime event.

Santa’s job is supposed to be delivering presents to children all over the world in the cold…

but this Santa, believe it or not, hates the cold! This song depicts a cold-sensitive Santa handing out gifts while grumbling about all sorts of things.

It’s based on a picture book with the same title as the song.

Even though he complains, he does his best for the children and is kind to the reindeer who help him—in the end, he’s a good Santa after all.

Enjoy it together with the picture book!
