White Christmas: The Story of a Song

White Christmas: The Story of an American Song | Jody Rosen

bailed

DNF‘d so not bothering to rate…
Boring. The reader needs to already have a working knowledge of the musical era of the early to mid 1900s to follow along. Could have been edited down to an essay instead of bloated into a 200 page book. Not BAD exactly, but certainly not something I want to spend time on.

jenniferw88 Sounds like a book for my Mum! 2y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @jenniferw88 Would you like my copy? I‘m happy to send it to someone who would enjoy it. 👍 2y

jenniferw88 @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm if you don't mind, I'll pass thanks as I'm in the UK and with Brexit (😡) and everything, I'm not sure how everything is working at the moment 😂! 2y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @jenniferw88 Ah, gotcha, no worries! 😅👍❤️ 2y

White Christmas: The Story of a Song | Jody Rosen

Jody Rosen provides both the fascinating story behind the making of America's favorite Christmas carol and a cultural history of the nation that embraced it. Berlin, the Russian-Jewish immigrant, wrote a timeless song that resonates with some of the deepest themes in American culture...as shlocky as it is, I fondly watch it every Christmas 🎄❄️☃️

1. We used to, I try to keep it up
2. In our stockings we used to have a big chocolate santa! And we usually got an unwrapped Santa gift
3. Christmas movies, baking cookies, wrapping etc
4. Too much is too much! Just enough is all I ask!
5. Not a fan of sooo much snow but my favorite is the classic ~White Christmas and the nutcracker
6. @Avanders ~ thought I would get the ball rolling. I am sure more of these will pop up!

White Christmases sure are pretty... until you have to drive in them. We've got what's normally a two hour drive from Flint, Michigan to Toledo, Ohio. So far it's looking like it will take double that. (Eight cars in the ditch and counting!)

Travel safe, littens. ❤

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh my!!!! Be careful!!! ❤️ 6y

CocoReads @eanderson yay! I‘m sure we‘ll get the predicted 5-9, what with the Lake Effect and all. The only problem I see is my sister is hosting the party tomorrow night and she has one of those driveways that eats cars in the winter. I mean, I‘ve got a Jeep so no problem for me but most of the family is scared of her driveway! 6y

Books88 All my friends from that area are posting this. We used to live in Mishawaka. That area always got snow snow snow! 6y

CocoReads @AJBowers what a small world! We had some decent snow last week and the it warmed up and rained so I‘m happy to see a White Christmas is on the way. I mean, I‘ll be whining about it come February, but right now I‘m excited! 6y

LorieL @ralexist Haha...I can understand that. It looks pretty, but then I want it to go away. 😄 6y

A thoughtful Christmas gift from my sister a few years ago. Still on the #TBR list or maybe "to be finished" as I did find a bookmark about half way through! #musicaltitles #maybookflowers
