July 1969 saw one of mankinds greatest technological achievements - the first landing on the moon. Unearthing rare archival footage from the BBC, this two-hour documentary compiles the sights, sounds, and electrifying drama of humanity’s first footsteps on the moon. Astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and veteran newsmen cover events as they happened from the launchpad in Cape Kennedy, mission control in Houston, and the BBC desk in London. Follow Apollo 11 astronauts from their preflight breakfast on July 16, 1969, to their splashdown in the Pacific eight days later. Share the suspense of countdown, the thunder of blastoff, the epic 218,096-mile flight--and, of course, Neil Armstrong’s "one giant leap for mankind." Interspersed with this live coverage, BBC reporter James Burke provides helpful--and sometimes hilarious--demonstrations of spaceflight technology, including donning a space suit, touring the Apollo capsule, and experiencing zero gravity.

When considering must-own holiday albums, Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Nat King Cole's "Christmas Album" are the obvious big-hitters. However, it would be foolish to overlook "A Christmas To Remember" - an album that never disappoints. A beautiful and ecclectic collection of holiday songs, A Christmas To Remember can satisfy, to steal a line from Nat King Cole, "Kids from one to ninety-two." From Pamela's magical renditions of "Up On The Housetop" and "Frosty The Snowman" to Max Kim's contributions on "Dancin' In A Winter Wonderland" and "Rock Around The Christmas Tree", these Christmas recordings truly warm the soul. The Swingin' Organs' whimsical "Christmas Polka" is an instant classic, and Atlanta Rhythm's "Jingle Bell Rock" is a delightful twist on the Bobby Helms classic. For a fitting ending, The Christmas Brass's take on "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" only leaves you wanting more.

This album is a must-own for anyone who appreciates good holiday music, and the bountiful 25-track songlist makes it a bargain. Our family has this album on constant rotation during the holidays, and I highly recommend that you do the same.
