Too often we allow Christmas to become more complicated than peaceful. So many things to buy, places to go, and projects to complete. When I think of Christmas I look forward to the simple things -- family, friends, sacred worship, love, service, and the joy that comes from making Christmas memories. I recorded this album to contribute to the peaceful, uncomplicated part of Christmas. I hope that families will gather together in happiness and love to enjoy my simple gift of Christmas.
Selections found on the album include:
Away in a Manger
White Christmas
Silent Night
I'll be home for Christmas
Ave Maria
Gift of Love
Mary's Lullaby
The Christmas Song
O Holy Night
Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas
Still, still, still
