*Christmas By Song*
We did this last year if any of you can remember that far back. The point of this section is to give you as many different versions and artists singing the same song title. Enjoy!!

Warning: If you write to MoJo complaining that we've missed an artist, MoJo is going to tell Santa to bring you no Christmas gifts this year. I'm not kidding about this one. :>) This isn't even half of the versions we have.

*Sleigh Ride* written by Leroy Anderson
Background Info: This is truly an American song written by an American. Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) was born in Cambridge.

*Dashing Through The Snow* was written by James Lord Pierpont.
*Jingle Bells* was written by John Pierpont . The importance of this is basically neither of these were songs initially. They were merely poems. John Pierpont was James Lord Pierpont's father. Both of these men were proud Americans.

Various!
This section pays tribute to all of our Troops that weren't born here or perhaps weren't raised in America. Their first Christmas wasn't celebrated the American way nor were their Christmas greetings spoken in English.
Thank you to all of our Troops that didn't start off being American. We're proud and honored to have you among us.
