Review :
"If you know someone who really loves Christmas songs--someone who doesn't turn green even when 'Santa Baby' starts winding up--you must get them a copy of This Is Christmas, Song by Song, by Annie Zaleski. Her shiny, sharply designed volume contains 'the stories behind the 100 most meaningful Christmas songs of all time--the weird, the surprising, the touching, the festive.'" --The Washington Post "The eclectic mix of pop standards, songs from TV specials, contemporary hits from Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift, and lesser-known punk and heavy metal Christmas tunes makes this an essential read for trivia buffs, music enthusiasts, and holiday revelers."--Library Journal "Zaleski's prose is crisp and informative and the page layouts are sprinkled with whimsical illustrations by Darling Clementine. An excellent choice for public library collections."--Booklist
