""I grew with a great respect for each and every holiday due to the incredible enthusiasm my mother bestowed upon them," Ann Sweeten writes, explaining the origin of this album of favorite Christmas memories. "For a child, the gifts in their marvelous packages and bows seemed uppermost, but as I learned who Santa really was, it became clear that the greatest gift I would ever receive was the presence of my Mother's love." The albums includes Christmas songs both old and new."
