Oh, this video is wonderful! I had not seen it before. Jennifer Pickens' new book, called Christmas at the White House, spans 50 years of Christmases at the White House starting with the Kennedys. If you love this video you should pick up the book. Pickens interviewed Letitia Baldridge for much of what she wrote about the Kennedys at Christmas, plus did years worth of research at presidential libraries, historical societies, etc. The photos are great and the stories are wonderful. All six living first ladies contributed to the book, which I think is a feat in itself! Her website is www.fifeanddrumpress.com or click on Christmas at the White House above and the link will take you there.
