Jingle Bell Pop by John Seabrook

Jingle Bell Pop by John Seabrook

If you’re looking for a short book to get you into the holiday spirit, you should consider giving Jingle Bell Pop a try. I listened to it on audible and found the combination of bright narrative, interviews and snippets of fancy songs to be an excellent balance. Starting with Silent Night, Seabrook takes you on a tour of the holiday classics exploring not only the history of individual songs, but the larger themes they fit within. He also spends quite a bit of time exploring what it takes to get your favorite Christmas song into the canon. It’s short and utterly enjoyable.
