Deborah Henriksson's performance of "The Angel Gabriel" follows and it is stunning. Set to only classical piano, Deborah has a gorgeous voice. Deborah's interpretation of "The Angel Gabriel" has elements of classical, Celtic and folk. Her rendition of "The Angel Gabriel" is sure to be a favorite.

Rockin' it out on Track 10 is Inches From Sin with "Jingle Jangle Jingle." Can you say that title fast three times? This song opens with smooth spoken words "Merry Christmas Baby and Happy New Year."

ZanZclan "Christmas In The Sun" will have you escaping to the Islands with "blue skies and hot sand."

Spreading more joy is the song "1,2,3" presented by Cousins STEEL & Cortez. This song opens with children's voices and builds to a fast tempo. The whole family will enjoy jumping and dancing to this joyful song that invites everyone to "Jump! If you love someone." ​

"It’s Christmas Time" by Sarantos will flood your mind with good old fashioned Christmas memories. There's nice percussion and horns that add a slightly jazzy feel. As you look out your window, at another Christmas, and remember your childhood Christmas stories, "good times are near full of cheer," this song will bring back old memories and create new ones.

Also written by Bobby Shaw is "Don’t Forget The Christ in Christmas." This up-tempo sing-a-long song is sure to be a big hit. The song spells out Christmas one letter at a time, "C is for candles that decorate the windows." The chorus reminds us not to forget the "Christ in Christmas" or "Old Saint Nicky might pass your house by." Bobby Shaw ends the album with a comedy sketch, "Sleigh Ride." As the cast drinks a bit of Brandy (bright spirits), their Sleigh crashes. Trudging through the snow with icicles hanging off their faces, the friends finally get to their car only to find a dead battery. Stuck in a dead car in the dead of the winter, the comedy comes alive with all kinds of hilarious surprises.
