CD tracks out of order

This album is the epitome of Christmas in my family. Every Christmas Eve morning, Dad's first day off work, he would put the vinyl album on hi-fi he built himself, and blast "Christmas with Conniff" throughout the house. All 9 children knew it by heart before we can really remember much else.

On the Thanksgiving before my husband proposed to me, all my brothers-in-law ganged up on him and said, "If you're going to marry a Mather, you gotta have THIS." He went out the next day and found it on CD (the first in the family to have it on CD). Then he proposed to me under the tree the following Christmas Eve. "Christmas Bride" is still his favorite and he proposes to me again every Christmas Eve.

I KNOW "CHRISTMAS WITH CONNIFF", and the sides got switched when transferring to CD. Start with track 7, and put your player on loop, THEN it is in the right order, telling a story, starting with the announcement that Santa Claus is coming, then some winter fun, a reminder of the birth of Christ in Greensleeves, THEN flip it for more winter fun, ending with a Merry Christmas to You, in Mel Torme's classic "The Christmas Song". That's the way Ray Conniff presented his special Christmas message, a treasure to the world. Thank you, Dad, Jim Mather, for giving us this treasured tradition. We love you forever! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ann Mather Gee (talk • contribs) 19:53, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
