2015 Christmas Party Invitation Banners

Mary Berry loves Christmas more than any other time of year - it's about spending time with family and friends, but mostly it's about helping others to cook! This holiday season Mary opens her kitchen to four eager if somewhat nervous celebrities - Huw Edwards, Dina Asher-Smith, Eleanor Tomlinson and Joe Lycett - all hoping to fine-tune their festive cookery skills. Mary teaches them some of her mouthwatering Christmas recipes that are perfect for entertaining across Christmas week and even on the big day itself.

There’s nothing better than the moment it’s socially acceptable to play Christmas songs! They brighten up your day and make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy inside (either with genuine Christmas spirit or with simmering rage in a futile internal rebellion against the festive period). Here in the office, we had a great time picking out these Xmas hits, and it made us feel really festive.

This is a 50's Christmas record titled "Hi-Fi Christmas Party". It features Domenico Savino and his orchestra. This is a RCA Camden recording, and I believe it is from the 50's.

The Soulful Strings were without a doubt the hippest project ever to emerge from the 60s with the word Strings in its name. Brainchild of producer/arranger/bassist/songwriter (and genius) Richard Evans, the group was a far cry from the interchangeable outfits that flourished during the beautiful music era; instead, The Soulful Strings were actually composed of members of the Chess/Cadet label house band, including flautist Lennie Druss, guitarist Phil Upchurch, bassist/cellist Cleveland Eaton and harpist Dorothy Ashby, who laid down a tasty electric groove into which Evans stirred lush strings and unusual instrumentation like the kalimba and sitar. The result was a sound that resided at the crossroads of easy listening, jazz, R&B and exotica and, as one might expect from that description, every Soulful Strings release (they made seven albums) is treasured by cratediggers worldwide. This 1968 release was their highest-charting record at #35 on the charts, and appears on CD for the first time anywhere in the world, with liner notes by Gene Sculatti. The soundtrack to many a swingin 60s Christmas party.
