This USA only release from 1964, is the only release by the the Hollyhill Singers though they did have an earlier release under the name The Cherryhill Trio.
In a conversation with my wife recently, it was mentioned about the sausage rolls and mince pies my mother and sisters cooked n Christmas Eve, being the only boy in the family since my brother died, I was not taught the dark art of pastry making, after lunch on Christmas Eve I would be banished from the kitchen, to watch the TV on my own, I always seem to remember there being carol concerts on both channels, I never knew what went on in the kitchen that afternoon, but after what seemed hours I would be presented with a sausage roll and a mince pie, the excitement Christmas had begun, the pastry was always like concrete knowing no better they were eaten, I don't recall having any more over the Christmas period, the bulk of the bake would still be around well after Christmas, sometime in February they would be thrown out, this scenario was repeated every year, one Christmas my girlfriend who would later be my wife was there, she could not believe what was served up, and asked are they always like this, I replied yes, the next year she cooked me some mince pies and sausage rolls these were so much better and more edible than my mothers offerings, that I never ate any of my mothers mince pies or sausage rolls again, nowadays we eat so few mince pies and sausage rolls that we tend to buy them ready made.
