The re-issue of a collection released as a digital-only collection in 2007, It's Christmas features a selection of 11 Christmas standards and classics, as well as PJ's own compositions, "Not Beneath the Tree" and two bonus tracks, "Christmas Day" and "Jingle Down the Christmas Tree."
"Not Beneath The Tree" was born in December 2002 on a hectic, pre-Christmas Saturday after a phone conversation between PJ and her parents concerning holiday shopping. PJ's father, Tom, was gravely ill, and his worry was that he would be unable to travel to gift his beloved wife with the typically lovely things he so delighted in presenting her, not even a card.
Her mother, Gloria, married to the love of her life for over five decades, plainly and simply declared that all she would ever need was him, her sweet darling, in whose lap she was happily snuggled - the perspective immediately and indelibly righted. This reissue marks the tenth anniversary of that bittersweet season.
It's Christmas once again features the lush piano stylings of Vinnie Ruggieri, deftly assisted by the dynamic bassist Earl Sauls. The renowned drummer Tim Horner appears on "Christmas Day" and "Jingle Down the Christmas Tree."
