At its most basic level, the movie ¿White Christmas¿ is about friendship, it is about sacrifice, it is about love, & it is about family. The song ¿White Christmas¿ was first performed by Bing Crosby on Dec. 25, 1941, during the darkest days of WW2. Throughout the war, Bing¿s singing of a white Christmas, of snow-covered trees, of children, & of sleigh bells often brought tears to the eyes of soldiers far away from home. The movie ¿White Christmas¿ was first released in 1954, & even today it makes us think about what¿s really meaningful in life. As you look through this book that celebrates the 50th ann¿y. of one of the world¿s favorite films, the hope is that you will be reminded of your favorite Christmases & want to share those memories with the ones you love.
