Christmas Memories is on the album "A Cigar Box Christmas 2011" which is available as a free download here: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/2011-cigar-box-nation-christmas-album-released
It felt right to do my Christmas song using this strummer as I got it as a present last Christmas : -)
The strummer was made by Jay from tinyguitars. Check out his website http://www.tinyguitars.tk/
I wanted to film this against a green screen and put myself somewhere exciting, but didn't have the time to set all that up..so you'll have to make do with a Christmas hat and some coloured lights swirling around my dining room!! Thought they looked a bit like Northern Lights???

What is it about your music that always make me smile?
Thx for this one. Pushed back a bit of the (bad kind) holiday blues for me it did!

Also +1 w/SilentJim below regarding the faerie lights. Bravo! That little bit of lens flare effect would have set Hollywood back a few million doing it with CGI.

P.S. Love the hat! My "regular guitar" blues playing GF liked it too. She has (and wears) one just like it. The two of you should start a movement.
