He’s even nicknamed “Mr. Christmas”! The holiday season just wouldn’t be the same if crooner Andy Williams didn’t sleigh ride into town for his annual holiday show.

Our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue wanted to capture the spirit of the season and so was on front row duty last night for Andy’s festive night at the Las Vegas Hilton.

If you need a break from gift-wrapping, head down to the Hilton tonight for Andy’s second and final holiday show performance. It’s a beautiful way to spend Christmas Eve.

Tom said: “You could feel Andy’s strength and spirit of Christmas and what this time of year means to the value of family. During this very rare opportunity to photograph his holiday show, I found myself closing my eyes for a brief moment and remembering being with family many a year ago watching his show on a small black and white TV. I could almost smell the popcorn my mom was popping for us to decorate the Christmas tree.”

From all of us at Vegas DeLuxe: Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
