Frosted Window Panes...

First off, major props to my brother Joel for the amazing job he's done on the covers for these albums! 

This next volume in our Christmas series is a collection mostly of originals along with a couple covers. When it comes to Christmas music, I'm not the biggest fan of originals (mainly because most are weak and don't come near the classics). However, over the past few years, some artists have been releasing and putting together some really great stuff. As timeless as the classics are, it is nice having some new songs. And even better... how great is it discovering new music? I hope these songs will keep you company this Christmas as you're baking cookies, hanging stockings, reminiscing through  'days of yore', and while creating new memories with friends and family. 

So, in the spirit of entering into new seasons, new chapters, new beginnings...

Happy Holidays...

Here We Are As In Olden Days...

One of my absolute favorite things about this time of year is the music. I love how preserved it is... as though we pack it up in its own old brown cardboard box and set it along side the others in our attic labeled "christmas tree", "lights", "boughs of holly", and "stockings"... not to be seen again or brought down until after Thanksgiving. It makes them that much more timeless... and gives the season and your family traditions their own soundtrack.

I put together a Christmas album of some "classics" that every Christmas playlist must have.

May your day be merry and bright...
