Well, here it is, my new Christmas album for 2026. It contains 6 never heard before holiday tracks alongside some traditional tracks. The title track; "Bells Snow and Mistletoe" was written in December 2025 for our 15th annual Christmas Eve party "Desserts In The Desert" where I performed it as well as other holiday favorites. By early January 2026 I still had the holiday spirit and began writing another song and then another and yet another. By March I decided I was going to record another Christmas album. I had spent the first 3 months of the year focused on writing songs and then the rest of the year recording, mixing and mastering those songs.

     I came in with a different attitude with this album than previous projects. It's no secret that I am not a fan of AI manipulated music. So to keep my authenticity and make it clear this is my effort not AI directed or influenced, I kept some of my miniscule mistakes and was not looking for perfection as I have with my previous albums. And like Barry Manilow once said, "I write the songs" so no reliance on artificial intelligence. Doing so made this album a different experience and it was much more fun to create going in with this mentality. It has been 31 years since my first Christmas album "Twas The Ninty-Four Christmas" so I was absolutely ready to write some new holiday tracks.

     Presently there are no plans to release this project for streaming. It will only be available for CD release. Have Yourself Another Merry Little Christmas in 2026.
