Synopsis
Sanders Family Christmas

Published by Samuel French Inc
3 Male 3 Female
It's Christmas Eve, 1941 and America is going to war
Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the family to the Baptist Church to sing and witness, getting the congregation into the down home holiday spirit before the boys - including one of the Sanders' own - are shipped off to World War II
More than two dozen Christmas carols, many of them vintage hymns, and hilarious yuletide stories from the more or less devout Sanders family keep the audience laughing, clapping and singing along with bluegrass Christmas favorites
Richly entertaining, this wildly infections musical brings cheer to audiences eager to see how their friends from Smoke on the Mountain have been getting along
