  • ""From the sacred awe of "Silent Night" to the melancholy of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" to the nostalgia of Bing Crosby's crooning rendition of "Silver Bells," the songs that have been woven into the tapestry of our lives continue to inspire us, bring a tear to our eyes, makes laugh, and elicit deep reverence for the birth of Jesus Christ. But who wrote all these wonderful songs? And why?"--Page 2 of cover."
