Christmas Greetings from the Presidents
Every
Christmas since Calvin Coolidge in 1927, the President of the United
States has delivered a holiday message to the American people. Gathered
in this volume are selections from those messages along with a brief
glimpse into the history unfolding at that time. For example, what FDR
said during Christmas 1941 is made even more poignant knowing that the
attack on Pearl Harbor had happened just weeks earlier. Likewise, one of
President Reagan’s Christmas messages is even more impressive knowing
that the Iron Curtain was about to come down.
These
little-known messages are filled with the spirit of Christmas and
remind us that patriotism has a place in our holiday celebrations.
