"Colorado Christmas" was originally one of two NGDB songs on a promo CD produced for radio stations, probably in the 1980's. The other song was called "Bethleham Holiday Inn" and was not released for radio as far as I know - no one around here has ever played it anyway. "Colorado Christmas" was written by Steve Goodman and produced by Marshall Morgan; "Bethlehem Holiday Inn" was written by Don Schlitz and Jonell Mosser, and produced by the NGDB.
In 1997, "Colorado Christmas" was also recorded for The Christmas Album, although this is not the original version heard on the radio.
The song is apparently also on Volume I of the Warner Brothers Christmas Traditions albums, available on vinyl and cassette. John Carlson found Colorado Christmas on a 3-CD set called Christmas in the Country, from GSC Music and Warner Special Products.
