Christmas Album 2011

Let us present our second-annual Wood Family Musical Christmas Card! This is our biggest self-imposed project of the year and so we happily share with you a selection of holiday music that we have performed and recorded as well as arranged, composed or adapted to fit our abilities. Much of it will probably be new to you. This is not your every-day holiday album. But we love the music that we selected and hope you'll give it a listen and feel our best Christmas greetings coming to you through the sounds. 
(and be gentle with us. This is by no means a professional recording and if you listen hard you'll probably hear lots of squaks or squeaks or other little things that would embarrass us if we didn't love you so much. So listen, but don't listen too hard. okay?)
