BY ANDY TENNILLE AND ALLIE GOOLRICK

Looking back at selected visual highlights from Christmas Jam past, we can only dream of what Christmas Jam future will be like. Elsewhere on the BLURT site you can read about the annual Haynes Jam - go HERE to read our interview with Haynes about the event, and should you require a dose of his band Gov't Mule, go HERE. And watch this space for our reviews of Christmas Jam present; soon as our ears quit ringin' and our kidney's stop achin' from three packed days of Jam-ming, we'll have a wrapup for you, along with exclusive photos. Meanwhile, enjoy some of these images personally selected by our ace shutterbugs Andy Tennille (2001, 2001, 2006 Jams) and Allie Goolrick (2007 Jam, also above photo). - The Editors
