From the PBS website:

The St. Olaf Christmas Festival is one of America's oldest musical Christmas celebrations and has become an honored holiday tradition. Listed by The New York Times International Datebook as one of five significant global holiday events not to miss, the festival has been featured in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and TV Guide.

Club members may recall that Anton Armstrong, St. Olaf's choir director, was a guest at our annual dinner and led us in the singing of "The Church's One Foundation."

St. Nicholas himself made an early visit to New York, greeting Church Club members at our Christmas party at St. James Church.

The Rev. Canon James Rosenthal, who had been speaking about St. Nicholas in historical and cultural contexts, disappeared before the sainted bishop arrived, which caused a flurry of speculation about secret identities and holiday magic.

Club members were treated to a reception and Christmas carols from St. James' children's choir.
