Stories Behind the Greatest Hits of Christmas - Ace Collins



Stories Behind the Greatest Hits of Christmas

Ace Collins

Thirty four of the greatest Christmas songs and how they became great!! Who sang/wrote them? Why? This fun book gives many of the songs that you have know and love for such a wonderful holiday.

The stories range in length from 6-10 pages each, and gives the time frame when each song was written. The whole book is written in order of when they became popular. This gives an interesting history lesson, as you discover that many of the hits that have lasted became popular around war times, and some of the emotions that surrounded the wars are probably why they lasted so long.

These short stories are a great way to get into the holiday spirit, and you can easily read on during a break at work, or while your car is warming up, or grab a cup of hot tea and a warm blanket (fire place if you have it) and enjoy a night or two of your favorite Christmas music!!
