A message from Annalisa, February 1, 2010:


I want to let everyone know that I was able to give The Ronald McDonald House a check for $579.69, all generated from online sales of There's Still Christmas.

This project was started on October 19, and I had a lot of fun doing it.

I'm going to continue the project into next Chrsitmas.  Next year I'm going to add sales of CDs as well as try to book live performances to sell the song for charity.

I want to say thank you to everyone who bought the song.  Also a special thanks goes out to Harris Faulkner and the folks on The Strategy Room at FoxNews.com, The Ron & Rehmer Radio Show in Traverse Michigan, The Positive Show, on radio in Westchester New York,  Michelle Gladden at the Asbury Park Press, Don Stine at the Coaster Newspaper, and also to everyone who publicized the song, most of whom you can see by clickng on the "News Items" section above.

I'll keep the song for sale on this site all year, and hopefully I can have more fun and raise even more money next Christmas!

Why I'm Selling This Song To Raise Money for

My name is Annalisa de Sena and I’m a 15-year-old girl from New Jersey.

Whenever my family gets together for holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, they encourage me to pursue my dreams of singing and acting, and of course they always ask me to play a song for them. With one of my three younger brothers on  bass, another on drums and my dad on guitar, it’s a family tradition to put on a show for our relatives at our annual Christmas party.

Two years ago I was introduced to a song that would touch my family members’ hearts each Christmas, going back to when  my Mom and Dad first met.  The song is called “There’s Still Christmas." A family friend named Stevie Betts co-wrote the song long before I was born with his friend Dennis Bourke, who is a great musician and a decorated Vietnam veteran.

Unfortunately, I never got the honor of meeting Stevie. He died of brain cancer just before I was born while residing in California. Although all the information I’ve learned about him are from stories, home videos, and faded photos, he's changed my life completely. After watching an old video of Stevie playing and singing There's Still Christmas  with my  family at a Christmas long ago, I’d fallen in love with the sound of the gorgeous acoustic guitar and heart-felt lyrics, so I immediately began practicing to perform it for my family that upcoming Christmas.

The day came, and after the song ended I looked around to see my family teary-eyed and smiling. That’s when I realized how much Stevie, and this song, meant to the people surrounding me, and if it could touch the hearts of my family, then it could touch the hearts of the rest of the world too.

If you listen to the words, There's Still Christmas is about people who are having a hard time, people who are in pain, but they  always have the hope and joy that comes even it's just for one day each year - Christmas Day.

Since the song is about giving people hope where they have troubles, I decided to sell copies of the song so I can make a donation

to the .  Like the song, they give help families who are having a difficult time with illness have better days.

Please buy a copy of "There's Still Christmas" and help me donate, so The Ronald McDonald House can continue to do their work of helping children and their families.
