From Matt s Liner Notes:
Traditions are a way for us to reconnect with events and times. Christmas is a time of year when traditions are especially important for folks. I have many that I enjoy. Decorating the tree, singing Christmas carols, going to church on Christmas Eve, watching the children open their presents, watching It s A Wonderful Life and, when I was young, doing my best to have the fortitude to eat a traditional Christmas dish of Sweden lutefish. My brothers and I lovingly referred to it as fish jello. Creates quite a culinary image right? I m sure you have many traditions as Christmas time that is dear to your heart. We hope as you and your loved ones celebrate the season that you will welcome a new tradition, the mellifluous sounds of the Christmas Tree-O. So as you decorate, cook or motor to Grandma s house, allow this heartfelt music to lift your spirits and brighten your holiday season.
