A celebration of Yuletide peace and homecoming

1 CD. 23 seasonal songs from December 1945 by the original artists. Over 1 hour of playing time. All tracks sensitively restored and digitally remastered.

A brighter future was on everyone's mind as Christmas 1945 dawned. In this unique selection of songs and spoken-word recordings, we offer reminders of the mood of the nation during that first post-war Christmas, as loved ones returned from the frontline, families were reunited and new lives were being built. It was a time of rejoicing, celebration and renewed hope - all which was reflected in the recorded music of the moment. This is the soundtrack to a unique moment in our nation's history and one of the most touching Christmas albums anyone could ever own.

Selections include:

I’m Sending a Letter to Santa Claus - Vera Lynn, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Judy Garland, There’s a Ship Rollin’ Home - Ivy Benson, I’ll Be Home for Christmas - Bing Crosby, Shine On Victory Moon - Issy Bonn, Silver Wings in the Moonlight -Anne Shelton, Let it Snow - Connie Boswell, You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To - Dinah Shore, plus extracts from broadcasts by Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee.
