Donations are accepted for We Care of Howard county and Jubilee Christmas of Tipton county charities to help those in our community
so they too may enjoy the Christmas season. In 2011 thru the generous donations from our guests we raised $5,252.
The Music in the show contains songs from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Disney, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Louis Armstrong,
Blue Man Group and Go Fish (a Christian rock group). One of the songs, "Christmas With A Capital C", talks about the true meaning
of Christmas. The song emphasizes that this is the Christmas season, not the "Holiday" season. It reminds us that the reason
we celebrate is because of the birth of Christ.
New songs this year include "Gloria" by Michael W. Smith, "O' Holy Night" where you will hear several different artists
and Michael Jackson's "We Are The World". During this song, you will hear Christmas greetings from people in 20 different
countries in their own language. It is a reminder that no matter what our race, religion or national origin, Christmas is the time
of year when Christians come together to celebrate the birth of Christ.
A Veterans Tribute Display consists of flags and silhouettes honoring those who have served our country. You will hear special
music and the stories of veterans from WWII to Iraq. We hope that when you listen to this tribute, you will remember those who
protect and serve our country during the Christmas season. The tribute and video can be heard on the "Veterans Tribute" tab of our website.
