My Holiday Reading

I'll Be Home for Christmas: The Library of Congress Revisits the Spirit of Christmas During World War III'll Be Home for Christmas: The Library of Congress Revisits the Spirit of Christmas During World War II by Michael Shohl




I'll Be Home chronicles through journal entries, letters, interviews and many photos what life was like for Americans both at home and overseas during the Christmas seasons of the World War II years.

The book is touching and inspiring without being overly sentimental.  I've really been enjoying this book and wishing that this same type of closeness and attitude of banding together for a common cause still existed in the U.S.

  1. Wow. Sounds great! Where did you find this book? I'm reading The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan. It is an awesome book!!! The best history book I've ever read. The story is incredible and written like a novel. It tells of the events of D-Day starting at midnight. All the different threads to the story are amazing.
