The Christ­mas al­bum, ti­tled “Ever­green,” is a com­pi­la­tion of 14 songs, a blend of mostly Christ­mas songs and some oth­ers with a hol­i­day flair. Some of the tracks in­clude “Home for the Hol­i­days,” “Won­der­ful Christ­mas­time,” “The Prayer,” “I Just Called To Say I Love You” and “We Wish You A Merry Christ­mas.”
