MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, A CHRISTMAS SONG FROM NIGERIA, NEPAL & JAPAN

This video whose copyright belongs to me, Hikaru Kitabayashi, presents a song whose lyrics were written and performed by me, being put to Christmas music that was given an African overlay by Nigerian artists.

The name Saint Nicholas is used instead of Santa Claus because (1) the original template for the modern day Santa Claus comes almost entirely from "A Visit from St.

Nicholas", a poem by the 19th century writer by Clement Moore and because (2) we consider the image of Saint Nicholas to be less heavily commercialized than that of Santa Claus.

The song is designed with the purpose of giving a bit of encouragement to those who are feeling depressed or otherwise down and out.
