The Christmas season can now officially start thanks to a little Christmas miracle. Well, miracle may be a strong word but I am super happy just the same. When I was growing up my mom had a cassette tape of the Braun Family singing Christmas In These Idaho Hills. Every year we would listen to it while we decorated the Christmas tree. It wasn't Christmas to me until we listened to it. Well, when I got married and moved away I wanted to buy the tape but couldn't find it anywhere. My mom made me a copy but it was poor quality at best. Every year I wished for the Braun Family to sing in the Christmas season. Last year I got the brilliant idea to google it and try and find it. I was unable to find the music but I happened upon the email of Muzzie Braun, of the Braun family. I emailed him my sweet story of growing up with his music and wanting to purchase a CD so that my kids could have the same memory. What I got in reply was something along the lines of, "Sorry but it is no longer available for sale." I was crushed. Well, tonight I was checking my email and noticed a message in my inbox from Muzzie informing me (and everyone else in his contact list, but I like to think of it as just for me) that Christmas In These Idaho Hills was now available!!!! Oh the joy!!!! I didn't waste a second before downloading it and have listened to it several times already.
Here's the link to download it yourself

It's only $6.99 for the whole album and, at least according to me, it's the best seven bucks you can spend on Christmas music. Your welcome. ;-)
No, they didn't pay me to advertise, but they should, right? Enjoy!
