Great Christmas reminder with an historical base.
David McCullough offers a Christmas message through reviewing the background of several Christmas songs. He reminds us that within weeks of the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Winston Churchill secretly flew to the USA and met with President Franklin D Roosevelt. Churchill was present at the Christmas Eve White House lighting of the "Presidential" Christmas Tree. McCullough reviews that event, among other and delivers a marvelous message.Read full review

Very moving view of Christmas season during WWII
This is an important view of American history. Audio on DVD could be better, but I enjoyed it very much. Text is very short but well written.

Not up to the standard of McCullough’s normal work. I knew it was VERY short, but I did expect a little more research/history behind it.
