Overview
Overview
Twelve Chapters. Over a hundred years of memories. "It's our way of remembering who we are." Christmas Eve 1925 - Cades Cove, Tennessee, is alive with the sounds of cowbells, rifles, firecrackers, and love. A young couple courts under the unique Appalachian tradition of serenading, growing closer as the season unfolds. Aunt Becky Cable regales the community with stories of days gone by, while everyone tries to set aside the looming tension over the national park that threatens to take their land. What will they do if that happens? Where is their place in this new world? But that worry is for another day. Tonight, after a Christmas tree decorating party and a school Christmas program, they run between houses, sing carols, and make memories that will last a lifetime. In the morning, they'll rise with the mountain mist, prepare for church, and go visiting on Christmas Day. Join us in our beautiful valley for a very special Christmas Serenades - to remember where we came from, to hold on to our way of life--if only for tonight--while the glory and shadow of America's newest national park grows ever closer. Let us all belong to where the mountains sing. For tonight. Forever.
