A Twisted Christmas
A Twisted Christmas
Amazon Price: $8.99 (as of 05/31/2012)
If you love Twisted Sister you will love their Christmas Album. Several of the Christmas songs are remakes of Twisted Sister's most popular songs. The songs are done as only Dee Snyder could do them. If you want a little twisted rock in your holiday this is the album for you. I personally look forward to Christmas just to listen to Snyder;s rendition of O' Come All Ye Faithful!
An Instrumental Marvel
A Christmas Festival
Amazon Price: $9.99 (as of 05/31/2012)
This album is breathtaking. Whether you need stress relief from the holidays or songs to cook Christmas dinner to, this is your album. It will fill your home or car with the spirit of the holidays.
