I put about ten different versions of Sleigh Ride on a disk and played it on a loop for a Christmas party. FOr several hours, no one noticed that it was the same song over and over.

One of our favourites is the Gaither’s Christmas A Time for Joy.

Thanks for the reminder. It’s going in the CD now.

For some instrumental in the mix, I like Chris Rice’s Living Room Sessions.

I have another one to add:

The Mountain Aires Christmas album. Their non-Christmas album is excellent, too.

Have you acquired any new stuff yet?
