  1. Brian Davey (verified owner)

    I haven’t been a big fan of Christmas music for a long time. In The Spirit played in my house the entire Christmas season last year. Thrilled to have a second album to play this season. Thanks Hop, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    • Neil White

      It’s definitely on rotation all year long here too. Glad you get so much play out of it. #teamDriskell

  2. NIcki Waida

    This is awesome, I love Christmas music and Hop outdid himself with this album.

    • Neil White

      Thank you Nicki! We’re in love with both Christmas releases and already looking forward to the new one! #teamDriskell

  3. Randy Brooks

    Though I’ve never sent back a check, some of the recent covers of my “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” have been, well, unnecessary. This is so fun, clever, and original, that it brings new life and energy to the old girl. Thanks for doing it!

    • Neil White

      Thanks Randy! Everyone had fun with that track.

  4. Shelly A Robinson

    I love this CD, it’s a must-have for the Christmas season.
