A Home Sweet Home Christmas (1985)

A Home Sweet Home Christmas is a 1985 compilation Christmas album released by Home Sweet Home/Word Records and is executive produced by Chris Christian. It contains nine original songs with two tracks each by White Heart and Glen Allen Green, also Steve Archer, Tami Gunden, David Martin, Rick Riso and Christian himself. The original LP, cassette and CD versions of A Home Sweet Home Christmas contains an instrumental arrangement of "What Child is This" performed by musician John Andrew Schreiner. In the digital version, it was replaced by an instrumental version of the same track arranged by recording artist Eric Champion that is found on his 1992 Christmas release Hot Christmas. A newly-reworked version of "What Child Is This" can be heard on the physical CD remastered version of Christian's 1988 Christmas album Thinking of You This Christmas that Christian and Schreiner arranged with saxophone added.
