St. Nicholas Fantasy is a medley of traditional Luxembourgish songs about Saint Nicholas of Myra, whose story is celebrated in many European countries on December 6th. Playfully translated into various styles such as bossa nova, samba, swing, Dixie, or jazz waltz, the songs reflect children's boundless anticipation of the gifts this holy man brings.

The medley includes, among others, the pieces Kanner, loosst mer lëschtëg sinn (“Let us be happy and cheerful”), Am Uewe potert d'Feier (“The fire crackles in the oven”), Nach eemol gi mer schlofen (“Once again we go to sleep”), Am December, vru Niklosdag (“In December, before St. Nicholas Day”), Ei, ei, ei! Lo ass de Kleeschen hei (“Now St. Nicholas is here”) and the most famous Luxembourgish St. Nicholas song , Léiwe Kleeschen, gudde Kleeschen (“Dear St. Nicholas, Good St. Nicholas”).
