Today, on 16 December in Elvis History

Elvis bought the Santa sleigh and 8 reindeer for $300 from Bain Sigh Company in Memphis. They are still displayed on the Graceland lawn every year.

Elvis and Priscilla returned to Memphis.

Elvis rented the projection room at MGM to screen That's The Way It Is.

Including all the recordings of the last couple of days, Elvis finished 18 masters. The songs reflected Elvis happier state of mind. For instance: I Got A Feeling In My Body, If You Talk In Your Sleep, Loving Arms, Talk About The Good Times and a rocking version of Promised Land.
