The sentimental three CDs of White Christmas, The Christmas Song, I'll Be Home For Christmas, and jaunty classics of Jingle Bellsand Frosty the Snowman, sung by the original recording artists, will warm the hearts of children and parents alike. Unforgettable carols as It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Away in a Manger add to the mix and highlight America's great contributions to the international carol repertoire.
Enriching the coffee table book devoted to the heritage of American Christmas music is the colorful array of images captured from Victorian Christmas cards, the 1930s to 1950s covers of The Saturday Evening Post, including several Norman Rockwell classics, fine art from the Smithsonian Museum of American History and Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and other period art and illustrations from notable American icons of the past.
