CD COMMENT:
This was the first year that we made the Christmas CD's. We never expected this to become a yearly tradition. Seeing how I'm not a graphic artist, I wasn't very good at making the artwork. As a result, I never found the overall presentation of this CD to be anything overly exciting.

ART WORK COMMENT:
The front image was scanned from a photograph. This is the only CD where a scanned image was used. I origninally made the front cover in Red. I believe only two copies were made with that artwork (I have one of them). I don't recall if we gave the other one away or if I just tossed it out. Also, Angie's grandparents didn't have a CD player at the time so I made them a 'J-Card' liner for an audio cassette case.

SONG COMMENT:
We were really pleased with the song selection for this CD. We went with traditional favorites that have become 'classics' over the years. However, I never felt like 'Frosty The Snowman' and 'The Grinch' fit the sound or feel of this CD. I kind of wish I didn't put them on this CD. Those songs ultimately fit better when we made the 'TV Specials' CD in 2005.

MATLERIALS COMMENT:
I used thin card stock for these images. The CDs were the gold 650 MB Maxell, and the jewell cases (CD case) had a white plastic tray liner. These white tray liners were only used in 2000 & 2001.

DRAKE INTRO:
Drake sings, 'Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way', then says 'Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!, Merry Christmas!'.

DRAKE OUTRO:
Drake sings part of 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town', then says 'I Love You!, Bye!'.
