The 8th annual Annie Haslam Candlelight Christmas Concert was held at the Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church in Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, USA, on Saturday, December 21, 2002. The weather cooperated as in previous years. We did not yet know that next year's Christmas shows would be cancelled due to Annie's dental problems, making these 2002 shows the end (for a while, at least) of a fine Christmas tradition. The usual aftershow meet & greet also went by the boards on this evening as Annie was a bit under the weather and wanted to save something for the next night's performance.

There was no opening act. Annie performed accompanied by the 2001 line-up of Rave Tesar (piano/synth), John Rittweger (synths), David Keyes (bass/guitar/bvox), Charles Descarfino (drums/percussion), and Angel Rittweger(vox/bvox/percussion).
