[edit] About the Show
Barry Manilow says, "We were moved by this lovely children's story because it celebrates the importance of community as well as the simple pleasures of the holiday season. The songs we wrote for this television special reflect the themes of the story, which we hope will help viewers step back from the holiday hustle and bustle and get in touch with the true spirit of the season."[1]
