So why a Christmas record?
Here is Reta in her own words:
“Christmas was a big deal in our house. Growing up in the Northeast, we experienced a lot of white Christmases, with artists like Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole providing the soundtracks for that magical season. With the joys and family traditions of the season, that Christmas feeling has always remained deep in my heart.”
“I recorded many songs and albums with my family through the years, and my dad and I had always toyed with the idea of doing a holiday record together. Since his passing 10 years ago, the longing to record that quintessential classic Christmas record as a tribute to him became the driving factor to see this dream come to fruition.”
