Ordinary Christmas (2008)
Singer-songwriter Darrell Smith offers an uncommon Christmas perspective with Ordinary Christmas. Once again working at The Mix Lab with producer Ross King, Darrell has created a Christmas album which is anything but ordinary. The project features four new originals, a few revamped, rearranged and, in some cases, rewritten standards and even a cover of a Muppets Christmas classic.
All revenue generated by Ordinary Christmas goes to Chapter Three Ministries, the goal of which is to share the hope of the Gospel and train disciples of Jesus Christ. C3M strives to serve communities, charities, events and congregations by offering Biblical teaching, resource development, missions support, worship leading, musical performance and training.
