Description:
Join Crystal Gayle, John Davidson, David Hasselhoff, and Michael Damian as they celebrate Christmas in the "crystal kingdom": Kalmar and Orrefors, Sweden. This 46-minute video from 1987 features 13 favorite Christmas songs performed in various Swedish locales as well as a brief tour of the Orrefors glass-blowing factory. Solo performances include Gayle's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "O Holy Night," Davidson's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," Hasselhoff's "Country Christmas," and Damian's "Another Christmastime Without You." Gayle and Davidson pair up on "It's That Time of Year," Gayle and Hasselhoff join together on "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," and the four collaborate on a medley of Christmas carols. Song arrangements are fairly traditional, with overlaid string, rhythm, and vocal tracks providing the accompaniment. World champion pair skaters Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner give a wonderfully photographed nighttime skating performance set to Gayle's "Silent Night." In addition to its musical content, this video explores several Swedish Christmastime customs, including the four Sundays of Advent, the tradition of Santa Lucia, and the formal midday feast on December 24. --Tami Horiuchi
