Celebrate Christmas with the King of Rock n' Roll! For Elvis, Christmas at Graceland was a time for family and friends, a respite from the road and the recording studio. It was a time to sing gospel songs around the piano and give out extravagant gifts. In this spirit, Christmas with Elvis is designed like a Christmas party Elvis himself would have liked. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the iconic music and songs Elvis sang and recorded for his bestselling holiday albums, alongside favorite stories, trivia, and Yuletide cocktails and munchies—all wrapped up with a merry Christmas twist fit for the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.

Just a few hours later, in the midst of Anderson, SC's annual May Day festival, over two thousand Federal troops invaded and occupied Anderson. For three days, the town was held hostage as leading citizens were tortured, buildings were ransacked, and a supply of wine kept the soldiers' fires from burning the town. The battle and occupation claimed the lives of four men, including one African-American.
