Please enjoy the BONUS TRACK.

From Us to You - Song #12

It is Christmas Eve and this is the final song to finish out The Best of the Black Christmas.  We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.  

Song #12 - We Wish You a Merry Christmas

From Us to You - Song #11

We really love you all and want to give you the very best.  We held nothing back for this song and truly hope that you savor every note.  

**Please make sure you have your crystal insured before playing this song.  We will not be held responsible.

Song #11 - A Chipmunk Christmas

Family of Blacks Christmas Film - 2008

Instead of Christmas cards we send out a video.  It is our ongoing attempt to be green and cheap.  If you are seeing this video for the first time it probably means that you weren't on our email list.  That was our ongoing attempt to save time.  Enjoy.

From Us to You - Song #10

Ring 'em if you got 'em.  

Song #10 - Jingle Bells

From Us to You - Song #9

Even though the snow here is too powdery to pack into a snowman you may have the right kind of snow for such a personified winter creature. If so, be warned. The thing may come to life.

Song #9 - Frosty the Snowman

From Us to You - Song #8

Sorry for the delay.  We were piled under snow again yesterday and I was unable to get to my computer (maybe).  I hope this has not caused any trauma for our fans.  Because of the delay we will release one bonus track on the final day.  

I thought this song was appropriate due to the silence of songs yesterday.

Song #8 - Silent Night

From Us to You - Song # 7

This song goes out to our good friends - The Carrolls.  

Song #7 - Carol of the Bells

More than we expected...

The popularity of our Christmas album has been much greater than we ever expected.  Who would have ever expected that we would have received such publicity.  This will certainly help the sales of our album (and future albums). 

From Us to You - Song #6

Ring-a-ling, hear us sing
Soon it will be Christmas time
And you will have to pay for these downloads. 

Song #6 - Silver Bells

From Us to You - Song #5

Simply Classic! 

Song #5 - Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer

From Us to You - Song # 4

As the weather forecast indicates, the next several days will not go above zero.  The likelihood of a White Christmas is nearly 100%.  The free download of the day is quite appropriate.  

Song #4 - White Christmas

From Us to You - Song #3

The entire realm of Nearly, Canada is under a Blizzard Warning and we have been advised not to travel.  As law-abiding citizens, the leaders of our church decided to postpone church until next Sunday at the same time.  Never fear though because the free download today includes the very best of CyberHymnal.  So, whether you are stuck at home or on your way to church count yourself blessed to be able to sing along with the churchiest of songs.  

Song #3 - Angels We Have Heard on High  

From Us to You - Song #2

We are preparing for a blizzard here in Nearly Canada and it seemed only appropriate to give you the gift of this song today.  Please pass on the joy to your friends and family.  

Song #2 - Let it Snow

Lookin' for good music...?

My friend Bryan just posted some information about a new album he was enjoying.  If you are anything like Bryan or me for that matter, you are often looking for new music for your listening enjoyment.  Kirsten and I feel your pain and would like to assist you this Christmas season.  We recorded a Christmas album and we would like to give you an early gift.  Over the next several days we will be releasing one FREE download each day.  Please feel free to download each song and share them with your friends and family.  Be sure to snag your copy every day because on December 26th these songs will be going to ITunes for $.99.  Enjoy!

Free Download #1 - Feliz Navidad

Environmentally Friendly Greeting

It's that time of year again...the time to send out our earth-friendly Christmas card via the World Wide Web. Enjoy!

*note: the video is about 9 minutes long so... although it may be earth-friendly it may not be time-friendly...depending on your relation to the family.

I-Tunes Conundrum

My lovely wife gave me an I-Tunes gift card for Kwanzaa. I don't know what music to purchase. Any ideas? Please let me know what I should purchase and why. The winning commenter will have the satisfaction of knowing that, in a very small way, they have influenced my decision. Thanks.

Happy belated Boxing Day.

Worst Christmas Gifts

I am working on a lesson that I will be presenting tonight at a local campus ministry. The students are finishing their fall semester and will be traveling home next week. In light of the upcoming holiday I thought I would share some horrible Christmas gift ideas with these college students. I was amazed to find this amazing gift. It is a contraption to aid in back shaving.

Here is a demonstration in case you didn't understand how to use the item.

From the web site -

“Makes a great & unique gift! …made from the same material as ski helmets. The Razorba was tirelessly developed to allow easy shaving of your back.”

If you have any horrible Christmas gift ideas - let me know.

A Very Sufjan Christmas

My wife really enjoys Christmas music. Me...not so much. However, Sufjan Stevens recently released a 4-disc box set of Christmas music. It is interesting enough to keep my attention. There are some familiar tunes as well as a few originals. It is definitely worth the listen. It takes a special person to add a banjo to "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and Sufjan is certainly special.

If you are cheap like me you can go to the web site and stream the songs here for free. In fact I am listening to "Angels We Have Heard on High" as I type.
