Synopsis
Caroline Kennedy presents a stockingfull of traditional lore about Christmases past, along with poems, tales, letters from soldiers away at war, and lyrics (including Run-DMC's "Christmas In Hollis") about the holiday. Kennedy recalls her own traditional-style Christmases with her mother, Jackie, and brother, John. She shares a letter to Santa she dictated at age five, as well as a letter, discovered in the Kennedy Library, that her father wrote reassuring a concerned child that he would not bomb the North Pole! Kennedy offers an appreciation of the important role of department stores in making Christmas a big American holiday, as well as seasonal ads, such as Coca Cola's iconic depictions of Santa Claus. A FAMILY CHRISTMAS makes a wonderful holiday gift.
