The Christmas Caroling Row Along - Will the Real Santa Please Stand Up? - Pattern and Giveaways

Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks

and

The Christmas Caroling Row Along.

It's been crazy making Christmas during the summer

but if you want to have a quilt finished by December it is a must.

This row was inspired by a childhood memory that may not be quite right, but I chose to go with it.  

"Will the Real Santa Please Stand Up?" was a song my grade school class performed during a Christmas program at school.  When Marian from Seams to be Sew asked for designers to create quilt rows inspired by Christmas carols or poems I thought I knew exactly what I would do.  That song sprang to life in my memory bank.  

What do you do when you want more information about something? 

Google it. 

Well, I found nothing.  There is a similar skit and a lot of Youtube videos of children performing a skit and song, but it's nothing like the performance of "Will the Real Santa Please Stand Up?" in my memory.  My memory is only a song with lots of different descriptions of Santa and a "Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho" and "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha" every once in awhile.  I even have the sheet music filed away in my mind with a picture on the front of Santas of every size and color.

This is my version of 

The row finished is 9" x 30"

 Tall, skinny, short, or fat which one is the real Santa?
Can't a Santa be a hippie or live on a beach?
