Ballard C. Boyd plays the ukulele. And he’s made a tradition of recording a new ukulele Christmas album every year for thirteen consecutive holiday seasons (a baker’s dozen), as a gift to friends and family.

In 2017, Ballard recorded “A Quaint Christmas” – a small Holiday sampler that’s available free for download.

The earlier twelve albums are available too, below. Not available in any store (because Ballard only owns the rights to the few songs he’s written). You also can download the original cover art by designer Pete Holm, print it out yourself and impress your whole family.

Share with your friends, enemies and small children, and enjoy. Happy Holidays, y’all!
