The Spirit of Christmas CD by Dennis Marcellino has uplifting arrangements of traditional Christmas songs and Christmas carols with one original song for a feeling of beauty, peace, and joy. It is masterfully performed on sax, flute, guitar with some vocals by this celebrity musician.

This video has just partial songs but the entire songs may be heard on the CD which is available at www.christmas.source2100.com at special bulk prices which are mostly less than wholesale prices on bulk orders. Great for Christmas gifts, premiums and for retail sales.
