We bring you a Christmas album from the popular "Home Cafe" series!

Bossa nova guitarist Mikio Watanabe covers well-known Christmas pops and traditional songs with a lively bossa nova guitar sound.

The album contains 12 expressive songs, including "Christmas Song" and "White Christmas," which are gentle songs with singing guitar over a simple percussion rhythm, a medley that would be suitable as background music for a home party, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Rudolph the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and "Let It Snow," which features a well-coordinated performance with a guest soprano saxophone player.

This is also a perfect Christmas gift for someone special.

*Winter Wonderland is a download-only track (not included on the CD).
