Chicago is a great sports town with great sports fans. Of course, who couldn't get excited about the Bulls and their many championships, so we must begin with "Deck the Halls with Championship Banners." The Bears too are a remarkable team; their story goes back to the very beginning of professional football and the legendary George Halas, but also includes the great teams with Mike Ditka and Walter Payton. All are celebrated in song on this album.
Chicago baseball is also a rich source for the songs, from the Black Sox scandal to present day hitting records. Hockey fans will be glad to know their sport is also celebrated on this album. These holiday songs will take Chicago sports fans from Thanksgiving ("Over the River Comes Santa Claus") all the way to New Year's ("Chicago Fans Must Not Forget"). The Lyrics are enclosed, please feel free to pass out the words to everyone you know, and go out caroling!
To all Chicago fans,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and the Series next year!
