Go deeper with us this holiday season as we explore the stories behind the songs you've come to know and love at this time of year. Learn about the lyrics to some of your favorite holiday songs that you've been mispronouncing your entire life, and one of the most beloved Christmas songs that was banned by the church for a time. Find out which of your favorite melodies was written by an insurance salesman, a lawyer and a stained-glass artist. Discover which song was written as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis and which one was able to stop the Franco-Prussian war for a night. Improve your Christmas trivia knowledge when you learn which American Christmas standard was the first to be introduced by an African American, and which was the first song ever heard on the radio. We hope you will join us as we share with you our collection of beautiful arrangements of timeless holiday classics interwoven with the fascinating tales behind your favorite holiday songs.
