Shannon is joined by New York Times best-selling author and FOX News Contributor Raymond Arroyo for a conversation about his new book, The Magnificent Mischief of Tad Lincoln, as well as a glimpse of his new Christmas album, Christmas Merry And Bright.

Raymond sheds light on the history of the White House turkey pardon and explains how the tradition began with President Lincoln and his son, Tad. He shares how the Lincoln family, and the country, were experiencing dark times during the holiday, but themes of family, forgiveness, and mercy ultimately healed those wounds.
