No Christmas can ever have been anticipated more longingly than that of 1945. After 6 exhausting years of war the British people could look forward to celebrating Christmas without the threat of air raids, with the shops marginally better stocked than they had been a year before – and, most important of all, in the company of family and friends. Victory was ours, the world rejoiced at the arrival of peace, and Christmas 1945 was all about reunion, renewal and getting back to the normality of a family Christmas at home, with the songs and music of the time reflecting the jubilant mood. Yesteryear’s brand new album Home For Christmas perfectly captures that momentous December 1945 feeling of optimism, celebration and Yuletide cheer. From the victory anthems and Churchill’s immortal “This is Your Victory” speech to the songs that captured the excitement of a husband, sweetheart or family member returning home’ interwoven with classic Christmas songs of the time by the world’s biggest stars, Christmas 1945 – whether a gift to be given or received – is guaranteed to brighten anyone’s modern home.
