The winter holidays, the solstice and the madness of the malls are upon us once again. Our gift to you this hectic season is the December edition of From the Ridgeline, a collection of holiday music from our catalog, several selections from our new Making Music Matter compilation CD, and a few of our artists sharing their own holiday traditions and joys of the season. Take a little time out to relax in between the "Holiday Have-Tos", and this audio holiday card can take care of the rest. It's a small way that we can say thanks, and happy holidays.
And if we can help with your holiday shopping, by all means please drop by the Falling Mountain Music website and let us take care of the gifts of music for your shopping list.
