Sanders Family Christmas is a bluegrass gospel musical and the sequel to Smoke on the Mountain, where the Sanders family holds their annual Christmas celebration on December 24, 1941, while their son Dennis prepares to ship out to war. The show blends hilarious stories and emotional moments as the family bids Dennis farewell, all while delivering a program of Southern gospel and Christmas carols.
