Perfect for the holiday season, this sequel to Smoke on the Mountain sees the Sanders family return to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on Christmas Eve 1941.  Rev. Oglethorpe has invited the family back to sing and witness, getting the congregation into the holiday spirit before the boys, including one of the Sanders’ own, are shipped off to World War II. Filled with vintage hymns and old-time Christmas favorites and hilarious yuletide stories from the more or less devout Sanders Family this family musical was the perfect treat for the holiday season.
