Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

I have a little something for you! It is a different sort of homemade gift.

It's "Lady Harvatine's Ukulele X-mas", a little 5 track album full of four-stringed Christmas cheer. It started out as a joke between Harv and I many months ago. But with the help of a friend with many musical talents, we actually made it happen! I can hardly believe it myself.

Since I can't send you all a copy I am putting all five mp3's up here for download, and if you really want the full experience, you can burn the songs to a disc and make your own state-of-the-art cd sleeve! How you ask? Allow me to demonstrate.

1. Print that baby out (on cardstock if you have it, otherwise paper works fine). Cut said baby out.

2. Score along the three folds. (I use a little metal stylus. You can use the back of an exacto. Not necessary if you printed on plain paper.)

3. Fold.

4. Glue.

5. Enjoy!


Get the music:
(Right-click or control-click to save them to your computer.)


Merry Christmas, happy holidays, etc! I'll be back soon with more homemade gifts of the standard variety.

  2. Thoughtful and clever.
    Looking forward to hearing these.
    Always nice to read a new post from the Harvatine Home of Good Stuff.
    BTW: Our home has been filled with laughter and good cheer, as three home-from-school boys catch up with Star Wars Robot Chicken...
    Merry Christmas and thank you for all the Good Stuff.
