Special Thanks:
To my wife Melinda and my kids Daria, Delanie and Dylan who make Christmas so fun. My daughters Carnie and Wendy and their husbands Dan and Rob, my two grandsons Leo and Beau and my new granddaughter Lola Sophia.
To my beloved Carl and Dennis who I miss singing carols with. My nephews Jonah and Justyn, my mother-in-law Rosemary and my nephews Patrick, Lenny and Kenny. My great friends Gloria Ramos, David and Eva Leaf, Jerry and Lois Weiss and Ray Lawlor.
To my great band who sang their hearts out and brought the Christmas spirit to the studio in the springtime! I want to thank my friends Bernie Taupin and Jimmy Webb for the beautiful lyrics.
I'd like to thank Clive Davis and his wonderful team at Arista Records for believing in this album, including: Charles Goldstuck, Tom Carson, Scott Seymour, Liz Morentin, Kevin Beisler, Tracy Peterson, Alexis Yroola and Eamon Sherlock.
And finally, I'd like to thank the team that makes it all happen, Scott Alexander, John Branca, Ron Brenner, David Byrnes, Ky Cabot, Angie Castro, Michael DeMartin, Amy Flax, Peter Grasslight, Phil Hardy, Samantha Henfrey, Gary Imhoff, Germaine Lathouwers, David Levine, Ronnie Lippin, Mark London, Paki Newell, Barry Siegel, Jean Sievers, Erik Steigen, John Warren and Neil Warnock.
