Christmas in Brobdingnag, Vol 1 is a short set of Christmas songs infused with the Bards' unique style. The band kept to their standard autoharp/recorder lineup, creating a "Little Drummer Boy" without drums, and a "Carol of the Bells" without bells. "Bog Down in Christmas" is a holiday parody of the Irish tune "Bog Down in the Valley," which the band performs on its Songs of Ireland album. The album is then finished off with a classic instrumental version of "What Child is This?," and an original comedy song "Christmas Time in Texas."
