When You Make out Your List for Christmas

Utilizing the actual lyric that Mr. Nirenstein wrote for his own music of the same title, "e;When You Make Out Your List For Christmas"e; is an exquisite example of this author's precise, yet eloquent, literary style. As a children's picture book, the lyric and photographs work together effectively--and poetically--to capture the true meaning of Christmas. Published in conjunction with this children's literary gem is the author/composer/lyricist David Joel Nirenstein's original sheet music to "e;When You Make Out Your List For Christmas"e; [ASCAP], copyrighted in 1969.
